Scope of ReportThe information and metrics presented in this report are based upon our global activities and performance
in 2008 and through the first half of 2009. 2008 is the first year that the results of Organon BioSciences
are included in the Schering-Plough totals.

lETTER To STakEHoldERS
Schering-Plough and its leadership team, from the top down, are committed to protecting the safety and
health of all colleagues; achieving the company’s ultimate goal of zero accidents and injuries; complying
with all applicable laws and regulations; and protecting the environment wherever we have operations.
This global commitment has led to significant and continuous improvements over the past five years in
safety, health and environmental (ShE) performance around the world.
During 2008, former Organon BioSciences (OBS) operations were effectively integrated into Schering-Plough’s
ShE programs, activities and compliance strategies. Overall, the company delivered a strong safety, health
and environmental performance in 2008, with the combined performance significantly exceeding expectations given the numerous and complex challenges of integration. Even with the integration, global safety performance
remained better than in 2006 and only slightly above 2007 levels.
For the third consecutive year, the company-wide Global Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) of 0.75 fell
below the 1.0 benchmark of excellence in this area. The 2008 TRIR is 17 percent better than in 2006 and
only nine percent above the 2007 rate. Since 2000, there has been a 70 percent reduction in recordable
injuries and illnesses. In comparison to our pharmaceutical peer group, former Schering-Plough operations
are in the first quartile of TRIR performance, while the combined company overall is in the second quartile,
in its first year after the OBS acquisition.
The company-wide Global Days Away Case Rate (DACR) of 0.37 is 31 percent better than in 2006 and
only three percent above 2007. Since 2000, there has been a 69 percent reduction in Global DACR. Former
Schering-Plough operations and the combined company overall are in the second quartile versus our peer
group; however, the Global Days Away Case Severity Rate (DACSR) for both former operations and the
combined company were in the first quartile of the industry peer group.
Schering-Plough measures its global environmental performance on a monthly basis using an internal index
based upon the number of incidents (e.g., exceedances, spills, etc.) which require external reporting to an
agency or meet a more rigid internal reporting threshold. Although former Schering-Plough sites reduced
their environmental incidents by 55 percent versus 2007, the number of reportable environmental incidents
in 2008 increased over 2007, with the inclusion of former OBS sites in the metrics database. however, over
the long term, the company has reduced environmental incidents by 54 percent since 2003. Also, progress
has been made in the first half of 2009, with the number of incidents down by 27 percent compared to
2008 performance.

We also use external certifications of ShE Management Systems as a “leading” indicator of our safety and
environmental performance. Depending upon location, sites pursue four major certification programs: ISO
14001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Environmental Performance Track, OhSAS 18001,
and the U.S. Occupational Safety and health Administration’s Voluntary Protection Program. Ten new management
system certifications were received in 2008 and three in 2009, bringing the total to 44 certifications. It is
important to note that this progress has not been driven by a corporate mandate — our operating units
have determined that achieving these certifications is the right thing to do.
The company has also made significant progress in its energy management efforts, implementing numerous
projects and programs that have reduced its consumption of energy and environmental footprint. These efforts
were recently recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which named Schering-Plough an
ENERGY STAR® 2009 Partner of the Year, and presented a special energy award to our Cleveland, Tenn. plant.
As Schering-Plough moves forward in 2009 with the announced merger with Merck & Co., Inc., we remain
committed to protecting the safety and health of all colleagues, sharing a common belief that all injuries
and occupational illnesses, as well as safety and environmental incidents, are preventable.
We would appreciate your feedback and comments on this report.

financial information
For detailed information on the company’s finances, see the Annual Report 2008 on the corporate website,
http://www.schering-plough.com.
Safety, health and environmental capital investments in 2008 were $34.1 million, compared to $24.2 in
2007 and $10.6 million in 2006. These investments were made for various pollution prevention, energy
management, and safety and industrial hygiene projects. The expenditures related to certain aspects of the
operation and management of safety, health and environmental programs were $81.4 million in 2008,
compared to $40.7 million in 2007 and $38.5 million in 2006. The large increase in operating and maintenance
expenditures in this area reflects the inclusion of operations from Organon BioSciences, which was acquired
at the end of 2007. The figure below shows the company’s safety, health and environmental investment
from 2004 to 2008.

Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) policies, Standards and procedures
The company’s corporate policies establish fundamental expectations in a wide variety
of core business areas. The Corporate Policy on safety, health and environmental (ShE)
management communicates Schering-Plough’s fundamental ShE commitments. It
applies globally to all locations and serves as a foundation for ShE management and
decision making throughout the company. This corporate policy is also referred to as
a Level I document.
The Global ShE Standards build on the corporate ShE policy and establish specific
administrative and technical expectations in a wide variety of ShE areas. Global ShE
Standards are also referred to as Level II documents.
The Global ShE Standards establish expectations in several key areas, including:
• Management Leadership and Commitment • ShE Strategy and Planning
• Employee Commitment and Participation • Monitoring and Measuring Performance
• Open Communication and Transparency • Self Assessment
• Document and Data Control • Management Reviews
• Records Management • Management of Nonconformities and Incidents
• Risk Assessment and Management • Management of Preventive and Corrective Actions
• Management of Legal and Other Requirements
Global ShE Standards are developed, issued and maintained through a multi-stakeholder process, under the
authority of the Corporate Environmental and Safety Council (CESC), with direct support from Global Safety
and Environmental Affairs (GSEA).
Global ShE Standards establish key expectations while allowing for an appropriate level of flexibility and
innovation at the local level. GSEA also issues global guidance documents, which provide additional non-
mandatory advice and direction in a number of technical areas.
Each facility integrates the expectations of the Corporate ShE Policy and Global ShE Standards as it develops
Local ShE Procedures where necessary to define the local processes and responsibilities for complying with
both internal and external ShE requirements. Local procedures are also referred to as Level III documents.

Global Environment, Health, Safety and Transportation (EHST) auditing program
Auditing is a critical element of Schering-Plough’s commitment to conduct business in a responsible manner.
Since 1991, management has maintained a separate audit unit that is independent of both the operating
units and the Global Safety and Environmental Affairs department. The mission of Global Environment, health,
Safety and Transportation (EhST) Audits is to: (1) advise management of the status of compliance with
company and government environmental, health, safety and hazardous material transportation requirements
and the associated management systems at all company operations worldwide; and (2) ensure that all detected
instances of noncompliance are resolved properly and in a timely manner. Global EhST Audits is a part of
the Global Compliance and Business Practices group. The unit provides regular reports to the Corporate
Environmental and Safety Council.
In 2008, Global EhST Audits conducted 38 audits of company operations and 10 assessments of external
manufacturers in the company’s supply chain. In addition, three assessments against the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s National Environmental Performance Track criteria were done. In 2009, 13 of 43 planned
EhST audits and eight of 22 planned external manufacturer assessments have been completed through April
2009. The data reported in the figure below reflect only the audit findings for the company’s operations.
Schering-Plough does not publish information regarding specific audits. however, in 2008, the company reported
that 99.3 percent of the audit findings noted for the period 2005 to 2007 had been closed. Only one finding
from 2006 and three from 2007 remained open. As seen in the figure below, one finding from 2006, three
findings from 2007, 156 findings from 2008 and 79 findings from 2009 remain open as of April 2009.

Safety, Health and Environmental initiatives
Schering-Plough has implemented several safety, health and environmental initiatives that go beyond
the scope of programs that generally concern regulatory compliance. For example:
• sustainable development, which is “development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs;”
• Right First Time/Continuous Improvement;
• ShE assessment of external manufacturers;
• sustainable (green) chemistry, which is “the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or
eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances/wastes, create inherently safer processes, and
increase process efficiency;”
• lEadERSHip Through SafETy, which is a unique behavior-based safety training initiative linked to
the company’s Leader Behaviors; and
• carbon disclosure.

Safety, Health and Environmental initiatives
Sustainability
backgroundCommon use of the term “sustainability” began in 1987 with
publication of the World Commission on Environment and Development
report, “Our Common Future” (a.k.a., the Brundtland Report). This
document defined sustainable development as “development that
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.” This concept of
sustainability encompasses ideas, aspirations and values that continue
to inspire public and private organizations to become better stewards
of the environment and that promote positive economic growth and
social objectives. Sustainable development joins together two important
themes: (1) environmental protection does not preclude economic
development; and (2) economic development must be ecologically
viable now and in the long run.
Sustainability and Schering-plough’s business StrategySchering-Plough is an innovation-driven, science-centered global health care company. Through investments
in biopharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing, the company creates therapies that help
save and improve the lives of people around the world. By applying the principles of sustainable development
in all phases of our operations, we can help to stimulate technological innovation, advance competitiveness
and improve our quality of life.
Through our combination with Organon BioSciences and continued progress toward successful completion
of the Action Agenda, Schering-Plough has set forth a business strategy — Growing Stronger, Growing
Better — which has a close correlation with the principles of sustainable development (as explained below).
This business strategy is three pronged:
• Grow the Top Line
• Grow the Research and Development Pipeline
• Contain Costs and Invest Wisely

Sustainability from a Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) perspectiveIn looking at sustainable development from a safety, health and environment (ShE) perspective, we can
identify many activities that support the company’s business strategy:
Grow the Top line — ShE professionals have been actively engaged in supporting the participation of
our Consumer healthCare (ChC) business in Wal-Mart’s sustainability initiative. We are also re-evaluating
our packaging policies and making changes, where possible, to reduce our environmental footprint.
Grow the Research and development pipeline — SPRI has strongly endorsed the principles of
Sustainable (Green) Chemistry and their global application throughout our operations and facilities
to make them more efficient. The importance of sustainability to the company is exemplified in
many ways, including:
1. holding symposiums to promote the application of green chemistry for the development of drug
substances in a manner that will reduce or eliminate the use and/or generation of hazardous
substances and environmental and human health risks;
2. The establishment of an internal annual Environmental Achievement Award for Green Chemistry to
recognize facilities or teams of employees that have applied the principles in their operations; and
3. Continually tracking raw material usage and waste generation through the new product development
process with a “Process Sustainability Index.”
Contain Costs and invest wisely — The company has implemented:
1. A formal ShE assessment program applicable to its third-party external manufacturers/suppliers
to reduce potential environmental and safety liabilities.
2. A Technology Transfer program to reduce costs by being more efficient.
3. Energy management programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make us more energy
efficient (i.e., a solar power project in Summit and a trigeneration project in Singapore).
4. A real estate/site remediation program to reduce potential liabilities associated with the acquisition
or disposition of property.

Sustainability and Schering-plough’s Social issues prioritiesSocial issues are integral to the pharmaceutical industry, which has a special responsibility to society because
drugs are essential to prolonging and improving the quality of life. The prioritization of social issues is incorporated
in all aspects of our work. We are able to identify pressing social issues, respond appropriately, and maximize
the impact of the resources we can bring to bear on these issues.
Following are several of Schering-Plough’s Social Issues Priorities for 2008–2009 and some examples of
relevant ShE responses to specific issues:
• Patient Safety — provided guidance on the safe and proper disposal of products.
• Occupational health and Safety/the Environment/Security — Schering-Plough strives to achieve
the highest standards of ShE performance and ranks in the first quartile of its industry sector in
occupational safety and health. The company has also upgraded and fortified security practices
to include chemical security measures.
• Promote Scientific Expertise and Innovation — implemented green chemistry and
technology transfer programs.
• Diversity — implemented a comprehensive ShE assessment program for external
manufacturer and suppliers.
• Corporate Governance — developed and implemented a Corporate Environmental and Safety Council
(CESC) to provide corporate-wide oversight and direction on ShE matters and to address emerging issues
that may have a material impact on the company.

Product Stewardship Initatives
Consumer Health Care Sustainability initiativeSchering-Plough is currently making solid progress on several environmental sustainability initiatives related
to energy efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas reductions, waste reduction and pollution prevention,
supply chain management, and green building design.
To supplement the broader company efforts and to strengthen its business, Consumer health Care (ChC)
has launched a business unit-wide environmental sustainability initiative to pursue additional opportunities
to act where it can create shared benefits for the environment and the business. Initial efforts are focused
on developing specific objectives and goals, assigning ownership and accountability, and establishing
appropriate business processes and systems to facilitate improvements in both new and existing products
and processes. Global Safety and Environmental Affairs is supporting ChC’s efforts and plans to work with
the company’s other business units in the future to share lessons learned.
The following examples of progress demonstrate the value of ChC’s early efforts:
• ChC’s site in Memphis, Tennessee, is achieving big environmental savings with its newly renovated
reverse osmosis (RO) water system, which was completed in December 2008. With the installation of
new technology and a recirculating water system, the site is saving 18,000 gallons per day. This means
that 6.6 million gallons each year will no longer be sent down the drain as wastewater. In addition to
the water savings, the site has reduced consumables, such as filters, water treatment chemicals, RO
membranes, salt, etc.
• A comprehensive redesign of DR. SChOLL’S® packaging has eliminated the use of PVC plastic in favor of
a more environmentally friendly, recyclable material. The new packaging is made from the same material
as plastic soda bottles, which is known as PET. This change is estimated to reduce overall plastic packaging
materials by more than 400,000 pounds each year and overall packaging material by more than 200,000
pounds each year.

• Schering-Plough’s Cleveland, Tennessee, site, a major manufacturing location for ChC products,
was awarded a 2008 ENERGY STAR® designation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The ENERGY STAR® is a mark of distinction given to the most energy efficient manufacturing plants
in the country. The Cleveland site is now one of only four pharmaceutical plants in the U.S. with this
significant distinction.
• Changes in Lotrimin and Tinactin secondary and tertiary packaging have reduced case cubes by 66
percent, eliminated the need for 3,700 pallets per year, saved 23,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year,
and reduced paperboard and corrugate by 161,000 and 61,200 pounds, respectively, per year.
• Changes in Coppertone Continuous Spray Sunscreen club store packaging have reduced packaging
materials by 85 percent and eliminated 74,840 pounds of packaging waste per year.
ChC’s Environmental Sustainability Initiative is a key element of Schering-Plough’s commitment
to develop environmentally sustainable products and processes.
Right first Time Continuous improvement initiative
bEliEfAs stakeholder expectations around sustainability continue to increase, continuous improvement
initiatives offer compelling opportunities to further improve Safety, health and Environmental (ShE)
performance. Building safety and environmental considerations into initiatives can increase value,
accelerate implementation, decrease material costs, and reduce liability and the risk of potential
ShE-related compliance gaps and nonconformities.

Effective integration of ShE management efforts into these initiatives
will allow facilities to avoid risks from non-compliance with regulatory
requirements, as well as discover new ways to improve operational
processes and achieve the highest standards of ShE performance.
Lean methods create a continual improvement-based, waste
elimination culture that involves workers at all levels of the
organization. There are a variety of common lean methods,
including Kaizen rapid improvement events, just-in-time
manufacturing, value stream mapping and total productive
maintenance. Lean thinking focuses on three objectives:
• Reducing production resource requirements by
minimizing inventory, equipment, storage and
production space, and materials;
• Increasing manufacturing velocity and flexibility; and
• Improving quality and eliminating defects.
Environmental-related wastes carry large financial burdens, create
potential health and safety hazards, and require time-consuming
support activities and management. Chemicals and hazardous
materials used in processes often demand costly support activities,
such as regulatory compliance management and reporting activities;
use of personal protective equipment; and the investment, operation,
and maintenance of pollution control equipment and/or non-
hazardous and hazardous waste management and disposal.
Chemical substitution, process improvement changes and other
strategies can reduce the need for such non-value-added activities.
Reducing the volume of material, water, energy, chemical usage
and wastes (hazardous and non-hazardous) yields cost savings
and significant safety and environmental benefits.

ownERSHipRight First Time (RFT) continuous improvement initiatives are based upon Lean Enterprise, Six Sigma principles
and the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) process, but have been enhanced and
adapted to fit the business utilizing Schering Plough’s Supply Improvement Process (SIP) model. The program
is focused on encouraging and enabling all colleagues within Global Supply Chain and the Global Quality
Organization to look for opportunities and generate ideas that can help minimize any aspect of work that is
not adding value. Projects are prioritized and evaluated against business fundamentals and often contain,
(and always consider) Environmental and Safety aspects. Of the projects identified so far in 2009, 15 to 20
percent of initiatives include ShE components.
Support is provided through a network of trained professionals at the local, regional or business function
level. To date, close to 50 percent of Global Safety and Environmental Affairs staff have received a minimum
awareness-level training, with select staff completing more extensive training to either Yellow or Green Belt
level. Facilitation of projects is typically a part-time assignment or extension of a ShE professional’s full-time
responsibilities. Projects are typically driven by cross-functional teams, with governance and oversight from
either site or corporate level. The project management process is organized around six steps to success:

paSSionRFT Champions at Schering-Plough manufacturing facilities encourage colleagues to apply RFT methods to
improve ShE performance ranging from regulatory compliance management and reporting systems to chemical
and waste management processes at the site level. The following are examples of ShE considerations which
have been applied to RFT projects:
1. Commit to eliminate environmental wastes through RFT implementation.
2. Recognize new improvement opportunities by incorporating ShE-related icons and data into process and
value stream mapping activities.
3. Involve site-level staff with ShE expertise in planning for and implementing RFT events on processes with
safety/environmental opportunities.
4. Find and drive out environmental wastes in specific processes by asking key questions and using process-
improvement tools.
5. Empower and enable colleagues to eliminate waste in their work areas through increased awareness,
training and workplace evaluation checklists to identify potential ShE concerns/issues.
6. Explore opportunities to incorporate environmental considerations into process and product design
activities. Discuss other potential areas of collaboration for improving organization results and
competitive advantage.
7. Focus on prevention programs addressing the primary hazards (based upon a review of Global ShE
Performance Metrics) and place an emphasis on the major contributors and around specific opportunities:

Safety, Health and Environmental assessment of External manufacturers (Em)Schering-Plough was a leader in its industry sector in initiating a formal safety, health and environment
(ShE) assessment program for contract suppliers in March 2004 to manage ShE risks, liabilities and business
interruptions associated with selected suppliers. ShE assessments are conducted on suppliers of active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), synthesis intermediates, bulk and finished products, and other critical
supply items. Priority for conducting assessments is given to suppliers that utilize Schering-Plough proprietary
technology, suppliers of products marketed under the company’s name, unique suppliers of key synthesis
intermediates or active pharmaceutical ingredients to be used in company products, and manufacturers
specifically identified in our drug registration filings.
For established suppliers that have already provided services to Schering-Plough, the priorities are established
based on their potential risk categorization. Suppliers are pre-screened and placed in potential risk categories
based upon six factors. These pre-screening factors include: the country of location of the supplier, types of
manufacturing processes employed, use or manufacture of hazardous/potent substances, and other criteria.
Questionnaires are subsequently used to collect additional background information on the suppliers. Any of
the suppliers falling into higher risk categories are targeted for on-site ShE risk assessments. For all new
suppliers, ShE risks assessments are carried out as part of the due diligence evaluations. Suppliers are
evaluated based on the potential risks associated with their ShE programs and potential impacts on the
safety and health of colleagues and surrounding communities, as well as potential impacts on the environment.
Since the launch of our program, more than 350 suppliers have completed ShE survey questionnaires and
approximately 200 on-site facility assessments have been conducted. All suppliers identified as medium to
high risk in these assessments have initiated formal action plans to implement our recommendations for
improvement, or they have been replaced with lower ShE risk suppliers. Follow up evaluations of these
suppliers are scheduled on a defined timetable.

Sustainable (Green) Chemistry
Green chemistry is defined as “the design of chemical products and processes that reduce
or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances/wastes, create inherently safer
processes and increase process efficiency.” The application of green chemistry has become
part of Schering-Plough’s DNA for the development of drug substances that will reduce or
eliminate the use and/or generation of hazardous substances and environmental and human
health risks. As processes and molecules become increasingly more complex with higher
quality demand, the need also increases for the company to reduce its environmental
footprint by using newer, sustainable chemistry methods.
Schering-Plough has made a strong commitment to sustainable chemistry, sharing green chemistry practices,
integrating the program with colleagues around the world, encouraging Right First Time (RFT) principles in
the development of new chemical synthesis, and continually advocating the reasons why it makes sense for
the company to apply the 12 principles in its operations.
Schering-Plough Research Institute (SPRI) Chemical & Physical Sciences (CPS) and Global Safety and Environmental
Affairs (GSEA) co-hosted the company’s Second Sustainable (Green) Chemistry Symposium on October 2,
2008. The symposium was held for a half-day to allow participation from various R&D and manufacturing
facilities in Europe, including the facilities from the legacy Organon BioSciences. Overall, more than 100
colleagues from various organizations and countries participated in the presentations and discussions.
With a theme “Turning Challenges into Green Opportunities,” the symposium included seven technical
presentations, covering a broad spectrum of green chemistry applications, as follows:
• Incorporation of Green Chemistry Principles for Process Development of Key Product
• Solvent Recovery: a Green Classic
• Use of Amine Oxidase Mediated Desymmetrization
• Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) as a Green Technology for Pharmaceutical Process Research

Carbon Disclosure Project
Schering-Plough participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which is an annual survey of public
companies worldwide with respect to the business risks and opportunities presented by climate change and
greenhouse gas emissions data. CDP’s annual Information Request is issued on behalf of institutional investors,
purchasing organizations and government bodies. The 2008 survey collected information on the climate
change strategies of 1,550 responding companies. The survey responses, which are publicly available on
CDP’s website, are scored and ranked. For the first time ever, Schering-Plough was listed in the Carbon
Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) for S&P Fortune 500 companies. Also, for the third straight year,
Schering-Plough’s overall ranking in the chemicals and pharmaceutical industry sector was above average.
CDP is an independent not-for-profit organization whose goal is to create a lasting relationship between
shareholders and corporations regarding the implications for shareholder value and commercial operations
presented by climate change. CDP holds the largest database of corporate climate change information in
the world. Since its formation in 2000, CDP has become the gold standard for carbon disclosure methodology
and process, providing primary climate change data to the global marketplace. CDP is supported by institutional
investors with a combined $57 trillion of assets under management.

SHE Integration Process — Schering-Plough/Organon BioSciences
In preparation for the integration of Schering-Plough, Organon BioSciences
(OBS) and Intervet operations and functions in 2008, nine key work streams
were identified to assist in the smooth combination of the two companies.
Work groups were established to review ShE procedures and practices
employed at both companies to identify best practices for implementation
in the combined company. The nine critical ShE work streams were:
• ShE Information Systems
• Global Standards and Initiatives
• Environmental Remediation
• REACh/GhS Implementation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization
of Chemicals / Globally harmonized Systems)
• Communications
• ShE Risk Assessment
• Metrics for the Future
• Energy Management
• Environment, health, Safety and Transportation (EhST) Auditing
Global Safety and Environmental Affairs (GSEA) created several networks
to integrate former OBS/Intervet operations from a ShE perspective.
Considerable progress has been made to date:
• GSEA reorganized and realigned its organizational structure and service
model to support the combined company by establishing ShE Business
Support Leaders for each major business segment. The new structure
increased alignment with the company’s individual business units and
also established networks of individuals with critical skills to address
given ShE focus areas, regardless of their reporting relationships.continued on next page...

LEADERSHIP Through SAFETY (LTS)
Since 2002, there has been continuous improvement in the company’s global safety performance as a result
of the development and implementation of the comprehensive global ShE management system. In 2004,
Global Safety and Environmental Affairs (GSEA) recognized that to sustain this level of improvement we
needed to continue efforts to build the best possible safety culture.
To meet this challenge, GSEA mapped out a path forward and facilitated the development and roll out of
an exciting new global process to foster employee ownership and empowerment by reinforcing the linkage
between safe behavior and leadership — which became known as lEadERSHip Through SafETy.
lEadERSHip Through SafETy consists of a series of modules that build upon each other which link important
safety practices with individual leadership. lTS is designed to encourage the active participation and involvement
of all colleagues in safety and to provide a means to actively promote environmental stewardship.

Each lTS module starts with a facilitated training program which takes about three hours to complete. The
training is designed to be highly interactive and to provide multiple opportunities for peer-to-peer discussion
in both small and large group settings. The training sessions also require self-assessment and reflection, personal
commitment and follow-up action items as an integral part of the program. Abbreviated online versions of
Modules 1 and 2 have been developed for use with commercial and administrative personnel globally. Over
16,000 colleagues from former Schering-Plough operations were trained in Modules 1 and 2. Additionally,
over 15,000 administrative and commercial colleagues received training with the online version. A phased
rollout is planned for former OBS facilities in 2010.
While it may appear that this process relies heavily on training, critical for success is the active participation
and involvement of all global colleagues to take the concepts provided in the training and find novel ways in
which to integrate them into their day-to-day operations. Colleagues are also actively encouraged to apply
the ShE concepts learned in their personal lives off the job.
lEadERSHip Through SafETy has been recognized by line management as being a significant driver of
our sustained improvement in safety performance since its inception in 2006. Since its inception, the global

The real success of lTS, however, has transcended the performance improvements, carefully reasoned
content, and methodical implementation plans. The true measure of the success of lTS lies with the
enthusiasm and willingness colleagues from the executive office to the shop floor have shown to move
beyond compliance and to not accept ‘good enough’ when it comes to the safety of themselves or others.
Safety excellence is the central tenet of our newly emerging ShE culture. however, we recognize that safety,
as with other core values, are not self-sustaining and the concepts presented in lTS must continue to be
reinforced, refreshed, and further developed to continue to model our belief that “Safety is a Core Value”
and will not be compromised.

Emerging issues and opportunities
REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals)
The European Commission (EC) approved REACh (Registration, Evaluation and authorization of Chemicals),
the legislative framework for the harmonized management of chemical substances in the European Union
(EU). The legislation entered into force on June 1, 2007. Also, on June 1, 2007, the European Chemicals
Agency (EChA) was established in helsinki, Finland, and charged with the responsibility for managing the
implementation of the new requirements.
The new law is based upon a “precautionary principle” to protect human and environmental health and safety.
The REACh process requires that manufacturers and importers of chemical substances provide notification
to EChA of the intention to produce in the EU or import into the EU those substances. Additionally, it is the
responsibility of the manufacturer or importer to prepare the necessary hazard and risk assessments of those
substances and communicate those findings in various technical dossiers, safety data sheets (SDSs), labels,
etc. REACh applies to both new and existing chemical substances. New chemicals must be entered into the
REACh process immediately; whereas, existing chemicals must be fully REACh-compliant over an 11-year
phase-in period which ends in 2018 depending on production volumes and use.
The onus to comply with the REACh Regulation is on industry, which has been given the responsibility to
manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances. Schering-Plough has
established a REACh-implementation plan as part of a global chemical management plan. The first milestone
in the REACh process, pre-registration, was successfully completed for all substances that Schering-Plough
manufactures in the EU or imports into the EU. The pre-registration effort included complete analyses of EU-site chemical inventories and communication with suppliers of REACh-affected raw materials. Schering-Plough
has also established a Global/REACh Chemical Management governance structure that includes leadership
from key stakeholders for the REACh process. A management plan to support global/REACh chemical
management has been developed and includes both site/regional support functions, as well as those in
global management areas, such as chemical sourcing, manufacturing, Information Technology (IT), legal,
and toxicology.
Other focus areas of activity to enable Schering-Plough to meet REACh compliance include hazard communication
and labeling, hazard classification, GhS (Globally harmonized System for Classification and Labeling of Chemicals),
risk assessment and management, and evaluation of IT systems for data management. Making REACh part
of an overall global chemical management strategy will allow Schering-Plough to comply with a number of
similar chemical management legislations with increased cost efficiencies, in timely fashion, and with alignment
to key business strategies.

Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
The Globally harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals (GhS) has been developed to improve consistency in hazard
labeling, facilitate international trade, and reduce the regulatory burden
associated with conflicting global requirements for classification and
labeling. All hazardous chemicals in supply, use and transport are within
the scope of the GhS. Since the GhS will impact Schering-Plough in all
business units and regions, a comprehensive compliance strategy has
been developed to ensure that all company sites follow the GhS labeling
guidance according to regional and local requirements. A core GhS
implementation team with representation from Global Safety and
Environmental Affairs (GSEA), Global Information Technology (GIT),
and key operating sites has been developed to address implementation
issues and provide guidance and training tools.
Implementation of the GhS in Schering-Plough will consist of three main components: (1) hazard classification
of proprietary Schering-Plough substances and mixtures according to the GhS criteria; (2) hazard communication
via labeling and Safety Data Sheets; and (3) training. Implementation of the GhS will have an impact on
various hazard communication program elements including, but not limited to, documented standards and
guidance, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), labeling, and modification of computer programs/software for classification,
labeling and SDSs. GSEA will provide oversight for the implementation of the GhS, including awareness
training and coordination with sites regarding implementation options and compliance tools. GSEA’s Occupational
& Environmental Toxicology unit will be responsible for assigning the GhS classifications and maintaining
GhS-compliant SDSs for all Schering-Plough proprietary substances and mixtures according to regulatory
timelines and for communicating these classifications for use on labels.
Consistent with the above strategy, each Schering-Plough site is responsible for understanding its local regulations,
developing a GhS implementation plan, implementing a GhS labeling process at its facility and training site
personnel according to local regulatory requirements.
In general, the timeline for the GhS implementation (classifications, SDS and labeling) will be according to
the EU timelines of December 1, 2010, for substances and June 15, 2015, for mixtures or product formulations.
however, other regional GhS implementations will be evaluated and addressed at a local level according to
those local requirements.

Emerging issues and opportunities
H1N1 – Influenza Virus (Swine Flu)
Schering-Plough has been closely following the global situation concerning the h1N1 Influenza Virus (Swine
Flu) and is issuing Corporate guidance as the situation evolves. Briefly, the symptoms of h1N1 flu in people
are similar to the symptoms of the more common seasonal human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat,
body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have also reported diarrhea and vomiting associated
with this influenza strain. Employees who have flu-like symptoms have been advised by Corporate Employee
health Services to stay at home and seek appropriate medical care through their personal physician or to call
their local Employee health Services for guidance on the next steps for seeking medical care. Before returning
to work after experiencing these symptoms, employees have been advised to contact their local Employee
health Services representative. Per recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), avoidance
and good hygiene are the best means to avoid infection.

Safety
Overall, the company delivered a strong safety, health and environmental performance in 2008. The
combined performance (Organon BioSciences, Intervet and Schering-Plough operations) significantly
exceeded expectations given the numerous and complex challenges of integration. Global safety
performance was better than performance in 2006 and only slightly above 2007 levels.
Global Total Recordable injury RateThe Global Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) of 0.75 is 17 percent better than in 2006 and only nine percent
above the 2007 rate. For the third consecutive year, the company-wide TRIR fell below 1.0. Since 2000,
there has been a 70 percent reduction in recordable injuries and illnesses. In comparison to our pharmaceutical
peer group, former Schering-Plough operations are in the first quartile of TRIR performance, while the combined
company overall is in the second quartile, a better-than-expected performance. The TRIR through June 2009
is approximately the same as the 2008 rate.

vehicle/fleet Safety programSchering-Plough recognizes the potential for serious injury or death and the losses that both the employee
and company could incur as a result of a vehicle accident. The company has increased its guidance to facilities
and education of employees about driving safety, with general information, technical and compliance support
tools, references, and guidance documents related to the vehicle/fleet safety program. These efforts show
continuous improvement in the three indices in recent years. The company recently conducted the annual
benchmark of its safety performance against the pharmaceutical industry peer group. In comparison to the
peer group, the U.S. fleet safety (vehicles) maintained its first quartile ranking in 2008 in all three categories,
but slipped from second ranking to third ranking in the injury collision rate. See the table and graphs below.

Environmental incidents and finesIt is Schering-Plough’s policy to promptly correct any noncompliance findings issued by a regulatory agency
and to resolve any outstanding issues, including the payment of fines and penalties, as soon as possible.
The company paid $8,400 in EhST-related fines and penalties in 2008, compared to $9,100 in 2007 and
$13,000 in 2006. None of these environmental fines or penalties had a material impact on the company’s
financial performance or operations.
Schering-Plough measures its global environmental performance on a monthly basis using an internal index
based upon the number of incidents (e.g., exceedances, spills, etc.) which require external reporting to an
agency or meet a more rigid internal reporting threshold. Although former Schering-Plough sites reduced
their environmental incidents by 56 percent versus 2007, the number of reportable environmental incidents
in 2008 increased significantly over the 2007 performance, with the inclusion of all former Organon BioSciences (OBS) sites in the Schering-Plough metrics database. Since 2003, however, the company has reduced environmental
incidents by 54 percent. Progress has also been made in 2009 with the number of incidents down by 27
percent compared to 2008 performance. See the figure below.

Toxics Release inventory (TRi)Based upon data submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by July 1, 2009, for reporting year
2008, the number of Schering-Plough facilities using toxic chemicals for which TRI reporting is required increased
from seven to nine relative to the previous year with the addition of U.S.-based OBS facilities to the inventory.
however, the number of toxic chemicals for which reporting is required decreased from 12 to 10.
In comparing 2008 with the previous reportable year (2007), total releases increased by 108 percent, primarily
because production doubled at one of the company’s major facilities. however, since 2002, total releases
have been reduced by 34 percent. Since 2000, total releases have been reduced by 53 percent.

Greenhouse Gas EmissionsSchering-Plough’s emission inventory of greenhouse gases comes primarily from the consumption of energy
in terms of carbon dioxide, which is the most significant greenhouse gas. A contracted utility bill pay system is
used to collect, verify and log data worldwide. Based upon this system, the company’s carbon dioxide emissions
increased by 79 percent from 2007 to 2008 (0.56 to 1.00 million metric tons). The large increase is due to the
addition of former Organon BioSciences/Intervet facilities into the database in 2008 through their acquisition in
late 2007 as well as increased production levels at several of our facilities. Similarly, over the past five years, 2004
to 2008, emissions have increased by 59 percent (0.63 to 1.00 million metric tons). On a normalized basis (per
dollar of sales), emissions increased by 22.5 percent from 2007 to 2008 as net sales increased from $12.690
billion to $18.502 billion.
Carbon dioxide emissions are shown in the figure below for the years 2004 to 2008.

Energy Management Program
With a vision to manage energy strategically, Schering-Plough’s leadership has supported the Global Energy
Management Team’s (GEMT) mission to “develop global policies, programs and initiatives that will reduce
energy use by as much as 10 percent over the next several years.” As part of its commitment to continuous
improvement, GEMT has initiated the following practices:
• Assessing performance and opportunities
• Setting performance goals
• Creating an action plan
• Implementing the action plan
• Evaluating progress
• Recognizing achievements
In addition to instituting a company-wide energy management program, Schering-Plough has organized
cross-functional teams at different levels to guide and direct the energy program: (1) the Global Energy
Network for Improvement in Usage and Supply (GENIUS) Team to champion and lead site energy activities;
and (2) site energy teams to develop and implement local initiatives.
The company has also implemented a comprehensive, global Strategic Energy Communication Plan that has
educated colleagues on energy management, raised their level of energy awareness, motivated them to solve
energy issues, and recognized them for their contributions and achievements.

EPA ENERGY STAR® 2009 Partner of the Year (POY) Award
In 2006 Schering-Plough’s leadership launched a strategic energy management
initiative designed to build “the foundation for an energy-efficient future.”
Involvement in ENERGY STAR®, a key component of that energy management
strategy, helped the company quickly develop its world-class corporate energy
program. ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that helps organizations
and individuals save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient
products and practices.
As a result of the company’s partnership with ENERGY STAR®, as well as many other global energy-saving
initiatives, Schering-Plough received a 2009 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award at a ceremony in
Washington, D.C., on March 31, 2009. This award recognizes businesses and organizations that have
demonstrated their commitment to environmental protection through superior energy management that
integrated the use of ENERGY STAR® tools and resources in 2008.
Schering-Plough is very serious about its commitment not only to the communities in which it operates, but
also to preserving the planet’s precious resources. For decades, the company has been implementing energy-
saving initiatives in its facilities, which accomplish two important objectives: reducing greenhouse gases and
saving money.
Some of the major accomplishments and goals that contributed to the company’s recognition as a 2009
ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year include:
• Reducing energy intensity by 3.7 percent from 2007 to 2008 under a newly launched strategic energy
management initiative
• Installing a 1.7 MW solar photovoltaic system, one of the largest in the United States, to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions by approximately 1,000 tons per year
• Reducing greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions – Schering-Plough’s global GhG emission reduction target
is a 10 percent absolute reduction of 2008 CO2 emission levels by 2013
• Building a web-based global energy data management system to monitor and control energy across its
worldwide sites, accounting for more than 16 million square feet of facility spacecontinued on next page...

• Engaging the workforce in energy management by executing a strategic communication plan that has
raised awareness of energy issues and educated colleagues throughout the company
• Leading the pharmaceutical industry’s support for the completion of the EPA’s new energy performance
indicator (EPI) for pharmaceutical manufacturing plants in the U.S.; the company also actively participates
in the ENERGY STAR® Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Focus and laboratory benchmarking initiative
• Using the EPA’s EPI for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing to rate the efficiency of its plants and Portfolio
Manager to rate the efficiency of its other buildings and warehouses nationally; these EPA ratings helped
the company set improvement goals; and
• Participation in EPA’s Climate Leaders program and Green Power Partnership.

ENERGY STAR® Site Recognition – Cleveland, Tennessee
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently
recognized Schering-Plough healthCare Products, Cleveland,
Tennessee, for being one of the first four pharmaceutical
plants to earn the ENERGY STAR® designation from the EPA
for ranking in the top 25 percent of energy performance
nationwide. The Cleveland facility on average uses nearly
35 percent less energy than similar pharmaceutical plants
across the country.
The EPA recognition demonstrates Schering-Plough’s company-wide commitment to efficient energy
usage and that colleagues at the plant understand the importance of using energy wisely and efficiently.
Schering-Plough is one of many pharmaceutical companies working in partnership with the EPA to measure
and benchmark their energy performance against others in the industry.

Solar Panel Project – Summit, New Jersey, Site
Solar panels are a clean and environmentally sound means of collecting solar energy. Schering-Plough
recently completed a solar panel project at its Summit, New Jersey, site. This installation is a highly visible
statement of the company’s commitment to the environment and renewable energy. By using solar power in
place of conventional energy, the company reduces both its energy costs and generation of greenhouse gas
emissions or “carbon footprint.”
At the Summit site, the company partnered with PPL Renewable Energy, Allentown, Pa., to design, construct
and operate a 1.7 megawatt solar photovoltaic system. With panels located on top of seven buildings, the
system is one of the largest photovoltaic rooftop installations in New Jersey and North America. The peak
output of the system will be 1,400 kilowatt-hours. The system will provide up to 12 percent of the site’s peak
energy needs and reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 1.3 million pounds each year, the equivalent of
planting 123 acres of pine forest. In addition to generating power, the project creates a Solar Renewable
Energy Certificate (SREC), a tradable certificate representing all the clean energy benefits of the electricity
generated from a solar electric system.

Safety Stars Program
The Schering-Plough Safety Stars Program was established in 2005 to recognize those company locations
that have worked a designated number of hours or year(s) without an injury or illness resulting in days away
from work (DAC). Effective January 2009, all Global Supply Chain, Schering-Plough Research Institute (SPRI),
Animal health Research and Development (R&D) and Consumer health Care R&D operations became eligible
for recognition under the Safety Stars Program. Safety Star Awards are conferred when an operation reaches
one of the plateaus shown in the following table:
When a location first achieves a Safety Star Award, a framed certificate and letter signed by the chairman
of the Corporate Environmental and Safety Council (CESC), noting the specific achievement, is sent to
the general/plant manager for the site/entity to celebrate the achievement and for display in a prominent
location in the facility. If a site/entity experiences a DAC and loses its status level, the site/entity is only
eligible for additional awards/status designation when reaching plateaus in accordance with a matrix
based on site/entity operational size.
