Media
and Public Inquiries
Shareholders, financial analysts, creditors
and others count on us to provide reliable information on
our company operations, performance and outlook. Moreover,
certain laws govern how such information is disseminated.
It is important to Schering Plough’s success that we
meet these expectations and comply with the law.
This means:
- All members of the public, including investors and analysts,
get access to the same honest and accurate information about
material matters – no one gets “special”
or favored treatment.
- Only those employees specifically authorized to do so
may respond to inquiries from members of the investment
community (e.g., shareholders, brokers, investment analysts,
etc.) or the media. Forward investor inquiries to Investor
Relations and inquiries from the media to Global Communications.
- Employees should not use public forums such as Internet
bulletin boards or chat rooms to discuss matters of opinion
related to Schering-Plough or any of its industries, or
to respond to comments about the company.
Political Activity and Lobbying
Corporate Political
Activity. Many of the countries in which we do business
have laws regulating the activities of corporations in the
political process. The laws of the United States and some
other countries set strict limits on contributions by corporations
to political parties and candidates. Also, in many countries
and jurisdictions the act of lobbying requires public disclosure.
At Schering-Plough we comply with these laws. C-103. |
