Assurance
Compliance with codes and regulations as well as follow-up methodology specified by the Novo Nordisk Way of Management is supported by a range of internal procedures such as the Organisational Audit, Facilitation, Quality Management system, assurance and internal and external audits. The internal procedures are monitored, and potential deficiencies are reported upstream, with serious matters reported to Executive Management and the Audit Committee or the Board.
Facilitation
Facilitations are a method to evaluate how well the practices and understanding of the Novo Nordisk Way of Management are embedded in the organisation. The findings and identified corrective actions are part of the documentation that the CEO presents to the Board.
Quality audit
The commitment to quality is outlined in the Novo Nordisk Way of Management and the Quality Policy. Quality is defined as meeting the expectations and needs of customers and society. The quality management system, including audits, ensures continuous improvements and optimal use of internal standardisation.
This page has been assessed by PricewaterhouseCoopers as part of its assessment of Novo Nordisk’s statement that it reports ‘in accordance’ with GRI. Please refer to Audit and assurance for a full description of the nature of assurance offered.
