Our Values

Our values define our culture and describe the professional behaviour we expect from associates. Living the values and behaviours is how we do business. These are integral to what we do and are an important element of working life at Novartis.

We have introduced Values and Behaviours that describe the professional behaviours we expect from our employees. These values were selected by the Executive Committee of Novartis – with input from associates worldwide – and form an integral part of the framework we use to recruit people, develop them and assess and reward their performance. We will hold ourselves to account against these values and behaviours.

These values and behaviours are:

Innovation

by experimenting and delivering solutions

Quality

by taking pride in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well

Collaboration

by championing high performing teams with diversity and inclusion

Performance

by prioritising and making things happen with urgency

Courage

by speaking up, giving and receiving feedback

Integrity

by advocating and applying high ethical standards every day
