As a global powerhouse in the pharmaceutical industry, we stand proud with 16 production sites across nine countries, 12 research and development centres in five countries, and a footprint in 170 nations, ensuring widespread access to our life-changing products. Our vast workforce of over 64,000 employees and 80 offices worldwide underscores our firm belief in the strength of varied perspectives and inclusive shared values.

In the pursuit of creating innovative solutions for individuals dealing with serious chronic illnesses, such as our revolutionary insulin pens, we understand that the real power lies within our incredibly diverse and talented workforce. Each employee at Novo Nordisk is an integral part of our identity—a collective force driving our commitment to transforming unmet medical needs into tangible, life-altering medications and delivery systems.

We firmly advocate that embracing diversity, fostering openness, and nurturing an inclusive mindset are the very pillars upon which we will elevate our company to its zenith. Individually we are strong, but together we are unmatched; this belief lies at the core of our corporate ethos.

Transparency, commitment, and accountability are the fundamental tenets that steer our actions. We take pride in offering a sustainable and nurturing working environment, one that celebrates diversity and inclusivity within its fabric. For us, being a sustainable business is inherently entwined with being a sustainable employer, and we take pride in creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to bring their authentic selves to work each day.

Diversity goes beyond just statistics—it's about the amalgamation of various perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. Inclusivity is about nurturing a culture where every individual is valued and feels a sense of belonging within our global family.

We are committed to breaking down biases at every stage of the employee journey, reevaluating our processes, and fine-tuning our policies. This commitment begins at recruitment, where we have put in place guidelines to ensure a diverse range of candidates and diverse recruitment panels. Our commitment extends to annual equal-pay and gender-pay analyses, ensuring that fairness is embedded within our organization, and we have made strides by introducing a minimum of eight weeks of paid leave for non-birthing parents.
