About TakeAction!

To translate the Triple Bottom Line into practise each and every employee in Novo Nordisk has to ask: What can I do to preserve the planet and the quality of live for its inhabitants? This is where TakeAction! comes to life as a vehicle for our employees to minimize resources and to treat people fair and well. TakeAction! is our employee engagement programme that gives employees opportunity to spend working hours showing social responsibility or helping the environment.

To qualify as TakeAction! an activity must

  • Support Novo Nordisk’s business and therapy areas
  • Cover social and/or environment issues
  • Be employee driven
  • Involve two or more employees.


The TakeAction! programme is underpinned by a subdivision of Novo Nordisk’s Global Stakeholder Engagement department. The TakeAction! subdivision supports our employees with data, tools and advice for community engagement and provides a communication platform making it possible for employees all around the world to share best practice.
