Every sustainability initiative will find good ground to grow here - a podcast by NordCham Philippines

Today I'm talking to the Vice President and General Manager, Cihan Serdar Kizilcik, and Jacqueline Anne Del Castillo, the Public Affairs and Communications Manager, of Novo Nordisk Philippines, producer of nearly half of insulin and other life-saving medicines in the world. We talk about their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. We focus on SDG 3 on good health and well-being, as they want to not only cure the symptoms of diabetes, but also prevent obesity, diabetes and other serious chronic diseases from happening in the first place. We also dive in to SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production, as they are optimizing the recyclability of their insulin pens through their programme Circular for Zero. We also talk about their ambitious goal of wanting to achieve 100% renewable electricity throughout the supply chain, as suppliers make up 80% of Novo Nordisk's carbon footprint. Lastly, we dive into how Novo Nordisk is engaged in gender equality, diversity and inclusion, with 51% female employees and many of them in leadership positions.
