Novo Nordisk

Novo Nordisk is a world leader in diabetes care. In addition, Novo Nordisk has a leading position within areas such as haemostasis management, growth hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy. With headquarters in Denmark, Novo Nordisk employs approximately 26,000 employees in 80 countries, and markets its products in 179 countries. In January 2006, Novo Nordisk joined the WWF Climate Savers Programme. The agreement between WWF and Novo Nordisk commits the company to restructure energy consumption from Novo Nordisk global production sites so that CO2 emissions by 2014 will be 10% less than in 2004. The 10% absolute reduction target requires that growth in production and energy consumption is decoupled. The target is reached through three levers: Optimisation of production, energy savings and promotion of renewable energy. In 2007, DONG Energy and Novo Nordisk signed a partnership agreement that converts energy savings into green electricity supply to production facilities in Denmark.

Scandinavian Airlines

SAS wants to create a responsible and sustainable traffic growth as well as reduce the environmental impact. This can be read in a new environmental strategy agreed on in March 2008. The goal is a 20% reduction in emissions in 2020. An ambitious environmental strategy which means a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions in 2020 per passenger kilometre. This goal must be reached through a specific effort on a number of isolated areas, for instance new technology, better exploitation of the aircrafts, more efficient and direct flights, green landings, fuel save programmes, an increase in replacement of the aircrafts and several other initiatives. SAS takes on an active role in the environmental debate and through the commitment in Greening Event Partner and Official Airline wants to work towards a reduced environmental impact. SAS works towards CO2 compensation of air travel in connection to COP15 and all conferences in this partnership.

This will be carried out by buying CO2 reduction in renewable energy projects in a scale which matches the air travels in connection to the conferences.

The overall contribution to the CO2 emissions from air transport is only about 2% internationally. Still, it is crucial to work towards reducing the environmental impact, especially because air traffic is experiencing growth. Air transport is an essential precondition for global development whether it comes to trade, tourism, social exchange, exchange of knowledge or assistance. In other words, SAS is both part of the lobalization as well as part of the environmental impact. With this stock in the development, air transport also has a particular responsibility. So far, growth has meant an increase in environmental impact. It is the ambition of SAS to turn this development around.
