To support the ongoing integration of sustainability into all relevant business practices, we have established a cross-functional Sustainability Development Board with high-level representation from all key functions and reporting directly to Novozymes’ Executive Management.
The SDB is a cross-functional sustainability development strategy group responsible for the development of Novozymes’ sustainability strategy and targets combining the functional business strategies with stakeholder insights. The SDB is our vehicle for integrating sustainability into our day-to-day business activities. Members are Vice Presidents from key functions such as R&D, Sales & Marketing, and Finance:
To help facilitate the anchoring of sustainability in the business, the Sustainability Development Department assists the SDB in the development and implementation of Novozymes’ corporate sustainability strategy. The department comprises specialists in the fields of social responsibility, human rights, ethics, environment, and life cycle assessment. We also have regional sustainability managers in China, the United States, Brazil and India.
