Public policy activities
In areas that are vital to the company’s long-term commercial interests, Novo Nordisk takes an active stand in the democratic debate.
This is the case for eg stem cell research, animal welfare, human rights, corporate governance, responsible business practices, funding of scientific research, access to health and disease prevention. Novo Nordisk’s public positions can be found here.
In addition, Novo Nordisk seeks influence through its membership of industry associations, international networks, local business organisations and other third party alliances. The company has a long tradition for partnerships, eg in medical research. The company seeks to ensure full transparency and mutual accountability in such collaborations.
The company does not support any political party, financially or otherwise.
Here is an example of a public policy engagement:
