Novo Nordisk partners with small diverse suppliers who share our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging and reflect the patients, the people, and communities we serve.  We expect all our suppliers to adhere to these principles.

We also expect our non-small, non-diverse suppliers to extend this commitment with their subcontractors.

An independent business that is at least 51% owned, controlled, managed and operated by an individual (or multiple people) of a diverse background and of U.S. citizenship, can be certified as a diverse-owned business.

Some of the third-party certifications we recognize include NMSDC, WBENC and NGLCC certifications.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, a small business enterprise is one that, including affiliates, is independently owned and operated and meets the appropriate size standards established by the Small Business Administration. Size thresholds for different industries are measured either according to the number of employees of a concern or its annual receipts which are established according to various North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes.
