The Committee recommends:
1. Information and publication of information
The Nørby Committee recommends that the board adopt an information and communications policy.
This is what Novozymes does:
Novozymes has a communications policy and strategy approved by Executive Management. This policy and strategy will be discussed annually by the board.
2. Investor relations
The Committee recommends that the board lays the groundwork for an ongoing dialogue between the company and the company's shareholders and potential shareholders.
This is what Novozymes does:
Novozymes gives everybody the chance of following analyst meetings through our home page. In addition, each year Novozymes holds over 300 investor meetings worldwide.
3. Annual report
The Committee recommends that the board considers to what extent generally accepted accounting standards other than those required, such as US-GAAP, shall be applied as a supplement to the annual report if trade conditions or other circumstances make this relevant in relation to the information needs of the recipients, including the need for comparability.
Further, the Committee recommends that the board decides whether it is expedient that the company publishes details of a non-financial nature, even in instances where this is not required by any applicable legislation or standards.
This is what Novozymes does:
The board attaches great importance to real comparability of financial figures and therefore follows this recommendation.
For a number of years Novozymes has reported comprehensively on social and environmental issues of the company and will continue to do so. In addition, going forward Novozymes will strengthen reporting on knowledge ressources and risk factors.
4. Quarterly reports
The Nørby Committee recommends that the company publish quarterly statements/reports.
This is what Novozymes does:
Novozymes has since it was founded published quarterly financial statements and will continue to do so.
