Reduce CO2 Emissions on Global Wind Day

Novo Nordisk Reaffirms its Commitment to Reduce CO2 Emissions on Global Wind Day

Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is working to achieve an absolute CO2 emissions reduction of 10% by 2014 compared with 2004 emission levels. In May 2007, Novo Nordisk signed a partnership agreement with the Danish energy company DONG Energy.

Under the partnership, Novo Nordisk pledges to convert all energy savings realised at its Danish production into the purchase of green electricity from a wind farm in the North Sea. DONG Energy's offshore wind farm Horns Rev 2 in the North Sea started to supply the first CO2-free power to Novo Nordisk and the Danish national grid on May 13 2009.
