The Novo Nordisk Way of Management is our culture and our identity, our history and our future.

Based on sound business principles, the Novo Nordisk Way of Management ensures the long-term growth and welfare of our company.

The Novo Nordisk Way of Management consists of three elements: Our Vision, Charter and  Policies.

Our Vision
Our Vision paints a picture of what Novo Nordisk wants to achieve as a company - our place in the market and our overall goals in relation to patients, society and employees.

The Charter
How we act is outlined in the Charter. The Charter describes our basic management principles: Values, Commitments and Fundamentals. Novo Nordisk has adopted the Charter for companies in the Novo Group - we commit ourselves to act inside this framework.

Policies
The vision guides 13 central policies of the company where mutual understanding helps us operate: communication, engineering, environment, finance, health and safety, information technology, legal, patents, people, purchasing, quality, regulatory and risk management. The policies give operational guidance within these areas.
