About:

On December 15th @ Holland & Knight LLP in Boston, James Goudreau, Head of Environmental Sustainability External Engagement, Novartis participated in AEG's Climate, Health, Equity Nexus: A Strategic Action Roundtable.

This Roundtable was an initial strategy session to discuss approach, outreach, and engagement for 2022 on Novartis' 10 year commitment to “achieve a paradigm shift in education and health equity.”

Compared with non-Hispanic whites, Black/African Americans have a lower life expectancy, a higher mortality rate from cancer, a dramatically greater likelihood of diseases such as asthma, and significantly increased rates of infant mortality.

Success in this endeavour will require inclusive, effective dialogue that leads to real results.
