Collaboration driving sustainability Partnerships are central to Korab’ s approach, both within healthcare and across industries. He observes that, in sustainability, competitors often become collaborators.
“ There is so much opportunity to partner and a lot of energy for organisations to pick up the phone and talk through issues.”
He believes this spirit is increasing across sectors.“ When it comes to environmental sustainability or social impact, there tends to be quite a bit of collaboration. Everyone sees we’ re all working for the same planet.”
Recognition for leadership Earlier this year, Novartis ranked third in the Sustainability Top 250, reflecting its leadership across medical access and environmental action.
“ It felt great,” Korab admits.“ I’ m new, so I don’ t want to claim credit. But I’ m proud of the team and this organisation. It was a very well-deserved recognition.”
“SUSTAINABILITY DOES NOT EXIST IN A SILO; IT HAS TO ENGAGE THE WHOLE ORGANISATION”
