To account for environmental impacts and activities at community level, green accounts are issued for four of Novo Nordisk’s largest production sites in Denmark. Such reporting is required by law. Data for all sites can be found in the interactive charts.
These reports - available from 29 March - are published in Danish and submitted to the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency in April 2006.
The green accounts have not been assessed by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Accounting for performance
The reports cover the sites’ environmental performance and occupational health during 2005. For Novo Nordisk employees at these sites, the report is a status on their work to reduce environmental impacts and improve occupational health during the year.
Targets and responsibilities
While the formal responsibility for performance on targets resides with the site manager, most employees are actively involved in environmental management as well as social responsibility activities. The site’s overall business targets include environmental and social performance, and these targets translate into individual targets throughout the organisation.
This page has been assessed by PricewaterhouseCoopers as part of its assessment of Novo Nordisk’s statement that it reports ‘in accordance’ with GRI. Please refer to Audit and assurance for a full description of the nature of assurance offered.
