  9. Why Environmental Footprint over the Live Cycle? Growing interest in environmental impacts outside the company boundary • Requests for information on supply chain from stakeholders and sustainability rating agencies • Stakeholder concerns related to potential environmental impacts (micro-pollutants) from pharmaceutical product use and disposal • Trends with respect to increasing outsourcing and change of production patterns • Globalization of business and of the value chain • In 2009 we did a Scope 3 GHG emission estimation for Novartis overall with following results: • Raw material generation may represent the largest carbon impact • Other relevant impacts are waste disposal, infrastructure, business travel and packaging material disposal 9 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  10. Objectives for our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) work • Gain better understanding of impacts (carbon, waste, water, eco-toxicity, etc.) and assessment methodologies • Learn how to use tools effectively • Develop an understanding of relevant influencing factors and product specific parameters that determine the impact • Raise awareness for these factors and how they can be influenced in the business • Find ways to reduce relevant life cycle impacts for the benefit of clients, the company and the environment 10 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  11. Life Cycle Analysis Learning What did we learn fromCradle-to-grave LCA / Supply Chain Carbon Footprint: • Pharma product impact overall is small: 10kg CO2e for annual patient dose = driving 35km • Impact from materials (solvents, intermediates) purchased from the supply chain is dominant (60%) • Potential end-of-live impact (Pharmaceuticals in the Environment) is not well reflected in a Carbon Footprint analysis • Internal transportation and distribution (for high volume products) are marginal What did we learn from Cradle-to-gate Carbon Footprinting for APIs: • Synthetic APIs have a clearly higher impact than Bio-tech APIs (170 versus 17tCO2e/t) • Energy is the dominant factor in Bio-tech (80%) • Supply chain and internal transportation are marginal (2%) 11 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  12. Influencing factors • What type of API generation do we have (synthetic versus fermentation/bio-tech)? • What is the molecule (how complex is its chemical synthesis)? • What is the physiological activity of the molecule (what is the dose required)? • What (supply and distribution) logistics have we chosen? • What is the environmental effect potential after use (PiE); what measures are necessary to keep the environmental impact marginal? • Which improvements count the most? 12 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  13. Green ChemistryDesigning more sustainable medications • ACS GCI Roundtable • Green chemistry in practice • Telescoping • Solvent elimination • Supply Chain • Green Solvents • Critical mass "No endorsement or approval by the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable has been received or is in any way implied." 13 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  14. Environment and Energy Strategic Objectives • Minimize risk related to Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (PiE) • Leader in environmental sustainability • Leading position on energy and climate • Stringent management of environmental liabilities and legal compliance GHG emission reductions and Carbon offsetting Sustainable packaging Pharmaceuticals in the Environment Contaminated sites 14 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  15. Pharmaceuticals in the Environment Novartis Position • Minimize environmental impact of activities and products over life cycle; work with suppliers • No risk for human health; implications for aquatic wildlife limited or inconclusive • Four-fold strategy, applies to all operations involved in R&D, production and disposal • Environmental risk assessment: evaluate impact of new products before reaching the marketplace • Manufacturing: minimize discharge of APIs from operations; take appropriate corrective measures • Save disposal: do not dispose waste containing APIs into landfills; recommend avoiding disposal into sewers or landfills; welcome state-of-art waste water treatment and processes/system to ensure incineration • Increase knowledge: support academia and regulators to close data gaps 15 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  16. Three pathways into the environment • Upgrade of public waste water treatment • Patient use • Excretion, washing off the skin • Hospitals / retirement homes • Extent of metabolization • Collection / take-back schemes, consumer education • Incorrect disposal • Toilet flushing • Landfill of household waste • Take-back schemes (e.g. Spain) • Site special waste water treatment, operational measures • Factory effluents • ChemOps, PharmOps sites • API suppliers and formulation contractors 16 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only

  17. Novartis Vision on Sustainable Packaging “Consistent with our goal to be the most respected health care company, Novartis will design and utilize packaging solutions that minimize the impact on the environment while meeting all design, functional, regulatory and quality requirements that our patients and customers expect.” Developed by the Sustainable Packaging Committee, approved by HSE SteCom and endorsed by ECN in Nov 2010 17 | Environmental Sustainability at Novartis | August 2013 | Business Use Only
