Novartis: Build and deepen trust with society and commit to becoming the most trusted medicines company in China

Daliangshan, vegetation, seedlings in southwest Sichuan – few associate these words with a pharmaceutical company.

In 2010, Novartis launched a tree planting project in Daliangshan, located nearly 3,000 meters above sea level in southwest Sichuan. It is now in its thirteenth year. In the process, Novartis and its partners have planted and replanted 21 million trees, repairing vegetation covering 4,000 hectares of mountainous area, which is expected to absorb 1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide over 30 years.
