Novo Nordisk makes appearance in company league table

Novo Nordisk has been placed 57th in Fortune Magazine’s 100 Best Companies To Work For.

It is the first time the organisation has been named in the league table, which is based on employee surveys.

Companies must also be at least seven years old, with over 1,000 workers, in order to qualify for entry.

Jerzy Gruhn, president of the company, said it was an “honour” to be named in the league table.

He added: “Our company reflects the passion our employees bring to our vision of defeating diabetes and helping people with unmet medical needs.

“That is what makes our company a Best Company To Work For.”

Top of the league table was NetApp, followed by Edward Jones, Boston Consulting Group and Google.

Based in Denmark, Novo Nordisk markets its products in 180 countries.

The company employs approximately 26,553 people, of which 17 per cent are engaged within research and development and 49 per cent are located in Denmark.
