Novo Nordisk to go social

Novo Nordisk is looking at ways to expand its supply chain monitoring to include ‘social considerations’.

The Denmark-based biotechnology and healthcare company currently uses environmental screens to audit its suppliers.

Vernon Jennings, director of ethical and social affairs, said: ‘We are looking at best practice worldwide and seeing how Novo Nordisk can apply social principles within its supply chain’. Novo Nordisk operates in 68 countries.
