Novo Nordisk ranks 15 among top green companies

Staff Correspondent: In one of the foremost assessments of corporate environmental performance, Novo Nordisk moved up 12 places to rank 15 on the 2015 Newsweek Green Rankings.

Newsweek Green Rankings rate the world`s largest companies on corporate sustainability and environmental impact.

Novo Nordisk has previously been recognised for its strong and consistent sustainability performance by the Corporate Knights Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies index and was also the first pharmaceutical company in the world to publish an Environmental Profit and Loss (E P&L) account.

An E P&L is a way to place a monetary value on the environmental impacts of an organisation and its supply chain and goes beyond what is accounted for in existing financial disclosures.
