Summary

Novartis is a Swiss public pharmaceutical company formed in 1996 through the merger of Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz. Its supplier climate framework is highly relevant because pharmaceutical supply chains depend on outsourced manufacturing, chemicals, packaging, logistics, and water-intensive processes. Novartis uses contractual environmental criteria, Scope 3 targets, and nature-positive commitments to govern supplier performance.
