Supplier Diversity
To Our Prospective Business Partners:
A critical component of our overall business strategy at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation is valuing diversity and demonstrating inclusion with our employees, our customers and our suppliers. It's a strategic imperative and an integral part of our culture.
As part of this strategy, we are committed to fostering and maintaining relationships with small, minority and women-owned businesses within our network of suppliers. We believe these relationships enable us to drive innovation, increase our understanding of our customers, and stimulate economic development in the communities where we do business.
Novartis has dedicated resources, policies, and tools to more effectively communicate, educate, and implement our supplier diversity effort throughout our organization and across our supplier network. We look forward to working with our diverse suppliers not only to help us achieve our business goals, but also our most important mission, that of improving people's lives.
