People. Planet. Positive.

We exist to better our world with biology. Our sustainability ambition is to leave a positive impact on people and on the planet through our innovation, operations and employees. People. Planet. Positive.  

We are committed to delivering biosolutions that enable a healthier planet with healthier people. We call this positive impact on the world our handprint. Our biological products can help drive decarbonization, revitalize nature, enable healthy lives and transform food systems.

At the same time, we have high standards for reducing our footprint, the environmental impact of our production and supply chain and fostering an inclusive culture.

Double materiality

In 2024, Novonesis conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to shape sustainability strategies by evaluating both financial and impact materiality. The assessment identified nine key topics, including environmental, social, and governance issues, ensuring informed decisions that positively impact stakeholders and the environment.
