Reach 6 billion people with our biological solutions

Every time a consumer uses a product that has been made or treated with our technology the world becomes a bit more sustainable. By 2020, we want 6 billion people worldwide to be using products made with our solutions at least once a week. 

This target is closely connected to our sales performance. Increasing our reach therefore depends on the successful execution of our strategy within each of our industries, and on expanding our sales in emerging and developing markets, which have the greatest untapped potential.

Educate 1 million people about the potential of biology 

Education is crucial for global sustainable development as articulated in Sustainable Development Goal No. 4. Our employees have a wealth of knowledge about science and sustainability, and regularly engage with schools, universities and communities through various outreach programs.  

The more people we educate about biology, sustainability and the environment, the more they will get involved in creating sustainable biological solutions in the future. Our educational activities included under this target exclude those related directly to sales and marketing of our technologies.

Catalyze 5 global partnerships for change 

To make the necessary impact on the world, we need strong partners dedicated to solving key global issues with us. By 2020, we aim to form five high-impact partnerships with public or private organizations that share our agenda and support our commercial activities. 

Deliver 10 transformative innovations 

Each innovation we deliver has an impact. Some of our innovations transform markets. By 2020, we aim to deliver 10 transformative innovations, creating significant impact for our customers and making the world more sustainable. 

When evaluating our innovation efforts and pipeline, we consider their financial and transformative potential and measure their impact against the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

Save 100 million tons of CO₂ 

Our products help customers improve their environmental performance by reducing their consumption of energy, raw materials and chemicals and by lowering their CO₂ emissions.  

To help address climate change, we set a target to save 100 million tons of CO₂ in 2020 through the application of our solutions.

Enable our employees to develop 

Great employees make for a great Novozymes. Our ability to grow and contribute to a better world is dependent on our ability to enable our employees to develop both personally and professionally.
