Second-tier Relationships
Novartis has a strong commitment to the diversity of our supplier base. To help us achieve our goals, we request that our majority suppliers actively participate in our Supplier Diversity initiative by seeking tier-two relationships with minority, women, small businesses, veteran, disadvantaged veteran businesses, HubZone certified businesses and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB). This participation demonstrates added value on the part of our majority suppliers.
