Novozymes supports the safe and sustainable use of gene technology in industrial processes, agriculture and health care.
Novozymes finds that gene technology offers a variety of benefits which can contribute to a sustainable development of society including:
- Better and cleaner industrial processes
- Extended use of renewable raw materials as substitutes for fossil raw materials
- More sustainable manufacturing processes for food, feed, fuel and chemicals
- Higher crop yields and reduced use of pesticides in agriculture
- Development of new and better health care products
In order to ensure an adequate level of safety Novozymes supports that robust, science based regulation is in place for processes and products involving gene technology
Novozymes acknowledges the need for improving the general level of knowledge of biotechnology and gene technology and we will continue to provide information and engage in dialogue with stakeholders about benefits and risks in relation to our use of gene technology.
