Triple bottom line

We believe our commitment to the Triple Bottom Line - social responsibility, environmental soundness, and economic viability - makes good business sense, so we have made it a top strategic priority. We take this philosophy one step further by incorporating an environmental and social report within our annual report that accounts for the ways these values are put into practice within the Novo Group. At Novo Nordisk, we take all our commitments very seriously, especially our commitment to people. We also take particular interest in the preservation and restoration of the global environment. We seek to minimise the ecological impact of our operations by developing more processes that minimise emissions and the consumption of energy and raw materials.
