Should exceptional employee situations warrant a waiver of the Company’s standards, any such waiver must be handled by a manager with the appropriate authority. Executive officers or members of the Board of Directors may be granted waivers only by the Board of Directors or a Board Committee. Any such waiver must itself be legal and promptly disclosed to our shareholders.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderMerckcode of ethicscode of conductbusiness ethicspharmaceutical companiesstakeholdersEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsLabour/professional ethicsTechnology ethicsTrade ethicsConsumer ethicsCultural ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsBioethicsMedical ethicsHealth ethicsPostprint
