About the department

You will join the Sustainability team within Corporate Procurement.

We are Novo Nordisk’s centre of excellence for category strategies, digital procurement, and purchasing processes, where we work to ensure that the ESG agenda becomes an integrated part of working with our suppliers.

Novo Nordisk has committed to net zero emissions by 2045 for scope 1, 2 and 3. The majority of our scope 3 emissions comes from purchased goods and services and capital investments, therefore working with suppliers to achieve zero impact, is a key strategic focus.

Further, we manage our business by building strategies and executing improvement projects to optimise our processes. We work fact-based, are dedicated to collaborative problem solving and take active leadership for the initiatives we are involved in.
