At MSD, the crocodile symbolizes the ability to adapt to change and a willingness to do whatever it takes not just to survive, but also to prosper and grow. Thanks to its thick skin and adaptability, the crocodile thrives today in water and on land, outlasting its prehistoric cousin the dinosaur by centuries.

Like the crocodile, businesses, too, must embrace new ways to improve services, satisfy customers and strengthen their communities. Those who don't may find themselves, like the dinosaur, among the extinct.

The crocodile also represents Supplier Diversity, a program that puts MSD's core values into practice by building business partnerships based on integrity, stewardship, service and quality. The results positively impact our customers, help our community prosper and contribute solidly to MSD's bottom line. That's good for all of us.
