We are guided by the healthcare needs people have today and tomorrow
Lasting health is shaped by what happens today, tomorrow and every day after. That’s why we begin with health as people experience it: in their bodies and minds. And we see health as deeply connected with people’s lives: their routines and their relationships, their communities and culture.
This understanding guides what we do. We’re a global healthcare company with more than a century of experience working to defeat serious chronic diseases. Our science is focused on developing treatments and providing support that help people make progress they can see, feel and sustain.
People today have more information, more choices, and a greater say in how they manage their health. At the same time, our scientific understanding of obesity, diabetes and adjacent conditions is improving. Taken together, this is changing the nature of healthcare, and it is changing how we develop and bring new treatments to people living with serious chronic diseases.
See how this way of thinking shapes our work.
‘The Novo Way’ is a set of principles that underpin our culture, building on the strengths that have defined Novo for more than a century - breakthrough science, deep expertise, care for people, and an unwavering commitment to patient safety - while setting out the behaviours and ways of working needed to innovate and lead in a faster, more competitive and increasingly consumer-driven market.
Brand and culture work together: culture shapes how we work, while brand shapes how our company is perceived around the world. Together, the rebrand and ‘The Novo Way’ are part of how we will deliver on our business objectives and our ambition to bring better health to many more people.
We innovate with consumers and patients at the centre of everything we do.
We raise our performance to create greater value for all our stakeholders.
We create focus and speed through clear priorities, simple ways of working and decisive action.
We care for our people, show respect and never compromise on patient safety and ethics.
Principles for working at Novo applies to everyone employed by or working on behalf of the company. The purpose of OneCode is to guide us on how we act as a company and as individuals, empowering each of us with the principles and requirements to make the right decisions across our business.
