Slide no 809/11/08 What is Novo Nordisk doing? Set goal to reduce carbon footprint by 5% each year for next 5 years for total reduction of 25% by Included hybrids, 4-cylinder sedans, and more fuel efficient vehicles on selectors. Monitor drivers’ gas usage for out of policy issues. Required all drivers to take a “Driving Green” module on-line Other recommendations include: going back to only offering 4-wheel drive vehicles to Snowbelt drivers creating separate Level 1 selectors (rep level) to more closely match job needs

Slide no 909/11/08 Problems Encountered Availability of hybrids from manufacturers Continued poor perception of 4-cylinder engines by drivers Company’s desire to provide “better” selector than other pharma companies—hesitant to remove SUV’s and minivans.
