Novartis believes that careful stewardship of natural resources, particularly tight control of greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency, is not only important for the Group but critical for global society and future generations. Social and environmental sustainability is an integral part of our strategy and a key reason for the success of Novartis.

Novartis strives to make efficient use of natural resources and to minimize the environmental impacts of all activities and products over their life cycle.
