Novo Nordisk Takes Home Best Sustainability Performance Award

(3BL Media) April 30, 2012 - On Wednesday, 25 April Novo Nordisk received the Justmeans Best Sustainability Performance award at the 2012 Social Innovation Awards. The award recognised Novo Nordisk’s energy saving partnership with DONG Energy and the World Wide Fund for Nature that resulted in Denmark’s Horns Rev 2 wind farm as well as helping Novo Nordisk achieve its 2014 CO₂ emission reduction target.

“This award is a testament to the power of partnerships,” said Corporate Sustainability Vice President Susanne Stormer. “The value of the project between DONG Energy and Novo Nordisk goes beyond our company – the new wind farm has created renewable energy equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 200,000 households."
