Forging New Links. Step 2. Prioritize EHS value contributions. This step prioritizes opportunities based on their feasibility and attractiveness, as well as the relevant competencies of the organization. Forging New Links. Guidance Material. Supplier FR_Final.pdf (Objet application/pdf) Responsible Sourcing reflects Novo Nordisk's commitment to sustainability and the Triple Bottom Line principle, which shapes our approach to business conduct throughout the supply chain.
The programme also underpins our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Facing an increasingly globalised supply chain, Novo Nordisk procures more from countries in which enforcement of international law may be weak. This emphasises the need to understand the risk to our business from the social, ethical and environmental performance of our suppliers. At Novo Nordisk, we have adopted a risk-based approach to manage environmental, ethical and social risks in the supply chain. This means that we have built a methodology for assessing our supplier base that consists of a common set of screening principles and a risk model to map and manage social and environmental risks that is tailored to specific sourcing areas.
