Second Tier Relationships
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation has a strong commitment to diversity with the workplace, as well as with our supplier base. We have created councils to educate employees regarding processes and policies that enhance our involvement with diverse companies.
To further strengthen our commitment, Novartis' Strategic Sourcing manages the Supplier Diversity effort, which is tasked to provide opportunities for minority, women, veterans, disadvantaged veterans, HubZone certified businesses, small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) and small businesses. This initiative looks to these suppliers for the same high level of quality and services, competitive pricing, technological foresight, and continuous proactive support as we do with all our majority suppliers.
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.
