Mission For the last century, our company has been consistent in its overall mission to drive change to defeat diabetes and other serious chronic diseases.

Today, the tools at our disposal are broader and more powerful than they were 100 years ago, when insulin had just been discovered. Yet the need for further innovation to realise our goal has never been greater, not least given the rise of obesity as one of the world’s foremost healthcare challenges.

At a time of societal debate about purpose versus profit, Novo Nordisk shows how the two can go hand-in-hand. The development of our life-changing treatments creates financial rewards that are reinvested in further research and development, a model that we will continue to apply as we build a sustainable business for the decades to come.

Over the past year, we have seen continued strong growth across both North America and International Operations and therapy areas. This was driven by exceptional demand for our market-leading GLP-1 therapies. In turn, this increase in demand led to further market share expansion for key products in both diabetes and obesity.
Description Novo Nordisk is a leading global healthcare company, founded in 1923 and headquartered in Denmark.

Our purpose is to drive change to defeat diabetes and other serious chronic diseases such as obesity and rare blood and endocrine disorders. We do so by pioneering scientific breakthroughs, expanding access to our medicines, and working to prevent and ultimately cure disease.

Novo Nordisk employs about 54,400 people in 80 countries and markets its products in around 170 countries.

Globally, we are serving a record of almost 40 million patients. However, there are still many people who struggle to access our life-changing products, even though more than 5 million are reached through our access and affordability initiatives.

Novo Nordisk's B shares are listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen (Novo-B). Its ADRs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NVO)
