Our environmental efforts

We take our responsibility to protect the environment seriously – and we have already accomplished a lot. While Novartis Group sales have more than doubled in 15 years, our consumption of energy and water has increased at a much slower pace and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been reduced. Our vision on environmental sustainability is underpinned by ambitious targets in four areas: energy and climate, water and micro-pollutants, materials and waste, and environmental sustainability management.
