Our Commitment: Improving Health Through Responsible Business
We are committed to creating a culture of integrity and we believe that, as a global leader in healthcare, we have a responsibility to serve as a role model in how we conduct our business. We focus our ESG work on two areas that underscore our mission:
- Expanding access to healthcare
- Doing business responsibly and transparently
We care for our associates, contribute to our local communities, and strive to operate with high integrity and transparency.
Transparency
Novartis makes every effort to comply with national and international standards for disclosure of clinical trial information. Results are made publicly available whatever their outcome. Access to this information helps people to make informed decisions about potential treatment options as well as potential participation in clinical studies.
Novartis publicly discloses all financial information related to collaborations, whether payments have been made to NHS institutions, healthcare professionals or patient groups. We also encourage all individuals to disclose details of their payments from us.
