Social responsibility

For us, social commitment and practical help are valuable contributions towards a better world. We firmly believe that, as a pharmaceutical manufacturer, we perform a role in society, both through the cost-effective and high-quality medicines that we make and through our conduct as an organization. By so doing, we maintain and build on our reputation as a company people can trust – and help to lay the foundations of our own future success.

The Novartis commitment to Corporate Citizenship

As a member of the Novartis family, Sandoz is proud to commit to the four pillars on which Novartis Corporate Citizenship rests: patients, business conduct, people and communities and HSE (health, safety and environment). You can find out more about the Novartis approach by visiting the Novartis Corporate Citizenship Website.

Our commitment as a Corporate Citizen

Sandoz strives to promote responsible corporate management in economic, social and environmental areas – and to do so worldwide, for all our business areas and all our partners. Here’s how:
• We guarantee fair employment conditions for all our staff.
• We demonstrate our commitment to environmental protection.
• We consistently provide prompt direct aid throughout the world in the event of disasters and other emergency situations.
• We reach out beyond the boundaries of our company to touch local communities and the societies in which we work. Our national group companies act on their own initiative to support local charitable projects in the areas of medicine and health.
Our approach provides concrete proof that financial success and social commitment are closely linked.
Our focus is on people – and our commitment to them is all the motivation we need.
