ESG Index: Supply chain and sourcing

Novartis Third Party Code and Third-party risk Management (TPRM)

We are committed to working with third parties who operate in a manner that is consistent with our values and ethical principles. While interactions with third parties at Novartis are broadly defined by our Third-Party Code, we identify, assess, monitor and mitigate risk associated with suppliers through our Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) framework.

Our TPRM process promotes ethical behavior and fosters sustainability across our supply chain by addressing risk areas such as anti-bribery; animal welfare; health, safety and environment (HSE); labor rights; information security; and data privacy.
