Menu TRADE ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIPS Merck is a member of numerous industry and trade groups. We work with these groups because they represent the pharmaceutical industry and business community in debates led by governments and other stakeholders, and because they are important in helping to reach industry consensus on policy issues. At times we may not share the views of our peers or associations. Merck representatives on the boards and committees of industry groups and associations ensure that we voice questions or concerns we may have about policy or related activities. We may even recuse ourselves from related association or industry group activities.
