Novartis

23,000 associates, 24 sites and 4 key campuses.

Our US presence extends from coast-to-coast with our campuses designed to foster a world-class work environment, and promote a culture of collaboration and innovation to help continually meet the evolving needs of our patients, customers and the communities we serve.

Research in the United States

We know our medicines can have a dramatic impact on patients’ lives. They can help people live longer and remain healthier, and they can provide significant benefits to our society and economy, which is why in 2017 we invested $3.4 Billion in R&D alone.

Reimagining Medicine through Innovation

Innovation is a cornerstone of the Novartis strategy and a foundation of our future. Research and development (R&D) as well as a strong pipeline of potential medicines are critical for our future business and long-term success.

The Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR) is the innovation engine of Novartis. With a US team of scientists, physicians and business professionals, NIBR works to discover potential new therapies that could improve health outcomes for patients; and works in concert with our Global Drug Development (GDD) group to bring innovative treatments to patients around the world. Of the 6,800 employees working in R&D in the US, 2,500 work at our Research and Early Development Headquarters at NIBR in Cambridge.

Corporate responsibility is endorsed and ingrained at the highest level of Novartis and is central to how we run our business.

We are inspired by helping patients and the communities where we live and work. This not only includes our day-to-day efforts as we develop and make available innovative medicines, but also how we give back through volunteering, charitable giving, and patient assistance programs.

Expanding Access to Healthcare: Developing new and innovative ways to reach people in lower-income countries is one of our top priorities. To expand access to healthcare, we pursue a variety of approaches.

Doing Business Responsibly: We recognize that achieving our business goals requires that we operate with high integrity, transparency and environmental sustainability.

Corporate Responsibility Report: Novartis has a strong history of corporate responsibility activities, and transparent reporting is a central part of our commitment.

4 themes appeared when we asked ourselves and our colleagues why we work here at Novartis:

• Purpose: in 2017 927million lives were touched by Novartis associates. Every one of us, regardless of level, role or location impacted those who use our medicines and while we are proud of that we must ask ourselves: in this world of rapid digital and technological transformation, how will reimagine medicine and continue to bend the curve of life for millions of others?

• Innovation: We have a history of firsts, and there’s more to come. We are curious to explore the unknown. We constantly look for breakthrough innovation; embracing digital and data, smarter thinking and braver decision-making.

• Collaboration: We’re taking a new path grounded in collaboration, listening, learning and sharing. It’s exciting and inspiring. By harnessing talent from every part of the organization, by building relationships, and by welcoming fresh ideas from in and outside of our company we will continue to reimagine medicine.

• Empowerment: the people, patients and societies we serve need us to achieve the extraordinary. Novartis empowers us to bring our best selves forward, to not compromise who we are, valuing our diversity of thought and backgrounds, and trusting in our ability to make things happen.
