GRI INDICATOR

 

 

REFERENCES AND COMMENTS

STATUS

 

 

 

 

 

Materials

EN1

Total materials use other than water, "by type"

V

 

EN2

Percentage of materials used that are wastes (processed or unprocessed) from sources external to the reporting organisation

 
  • Not relevant since only a very limited part of Novozymes' production can be considered waste. A relatively large part of water steam is, however, generated from excess power from electricity production.

 

 Firkant 


Energy

 

 

 

EN3

Direct energy use segmented by primary source

V

 

 

EN4

Indirect energy use

 

 

V

 


Water

EN5

Total water use

 

 

V


Biodiversity

 

 

 

EN6

Location and size of land owned, leased or managed in biodiversity-rich habitats

  • Not relevant. Novozymes does not manage land of significant size or importance in relation to biodiversity.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN7

Description of the major impacts on biodiversity associated with activities and/or products and services in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments

 
  • Not relevant. Novozymes' direct environmental impact has no material effects on biodiversity.

 

 Firkant 

 


Emissions, Effluents, and Waste

 

 

 

EN8

Greenhouse gas emissions

V

 

EN9

Use and emissions of ozone-depleting substances

V

 

 

EN10

NOx, SOx, and other significant air emissions by type

 Prik 

 

EN11

Total amount of waste by type and destination

V

 

EN12

Significant discharges to water by type

V

 

EN13

Significant spills of chemicals, oils, and fuels in terms of total number and total volume

 

 

V

 


Products and Services

EN14

Significant environmental impacts of principal products and services

 Prik 

 

EN15

Percentage of the weight of products sold that is reclaimable at the end of the products' useful life and percentage actually reclaimed

 
  • Generally not relevant for our biological solutions.

 

 Firkant 

Compliance

 

 

 

 

EN16

Incidents of and fines for non-compliance with all applicable international declarations/conventions/treaties, and national, sub-national, regional and local regulations associated with environmental issues

 

 

 Prik 


Additional indicators


Energy

EN17

Initiatives to use renewable energy sources and to increase energy efficiency

V

 

EN18

Energy consumption footprint (i.e. annualised lifetime energy requirements) of major products

 Prik 

 

EN19

Other indirect (upstream/downstream) energy use and implications, such as organisational travel, product lifecycle management, and use of energy-intensive materials

 

 

 Prik 


Water

 

EN20

Water sources and related ecosystems/habitats significantly affected by use of water

  • Not relevant, since Novozymes' utilisation of water is regulated by local and national authorities and it does not affect ecosystems or habitats significantly.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN21

Annual withdrawals of ground and surface water as a percentage of annual renewable quantity of water available from the sources

 V 

 

EN22

Total recycling and reuse of water

 
  • Consolidated data unavailable.

 

 Streg 


Biodiversity

 

 

 

 

EN23

Total amount of land owned, leased, or managed for production activities or extractive use

  • Not relevant as Novozymes does not manage land of significant size or importance in relation to biodiversity.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN24

Amount of impermeable surface as a percentage of land purchased or leased

  • Not relevant as Novozymes does not manage land of significant size or importance in relation to biodiversity.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN25

Impacts of activities and operations on protected and sensitive areas

  • Not relevant as Novozymes does not manage land of significant size or importance in relation to biodiversity.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN26

Changes to natural habitats resulting from activities and operations and percentage of habitat protected or restored

  • Not relevant as Novozymes does not manage land of significant size or importance in relation to biodiversity.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN27

Objectives, programmes and targets for protecting and restoring native ecosystems and species in degraded areas

  • Not relevant as Novozymes does not manage land of significant size or importance in relation to biodiversity.

 Firkant 

 

EN28

Number of IUCN Red list species with habitats in areas affected by operations

  • In Novozymes' case this indicator is not deemed relevant and is therefore not reported on.

 Firkant 

 

 

EN29

Business units currently operating or planning operations in or around protected or sensitive areas

 
  • In Novozymes' case this indicator is not deemed relevant and is therefore not reported on.

 

 Firkant 


Emissions, Effluents, and Waste

 

 

 

 

EN30

Other relevant, indirect greenhouse gas emissions

 Prik 

 

EN31  

All production, transport, import, or export of any waste deemed "hazardous" under the terms of the Basel Convention Annex I, II, III and VIII

  • Not relevant, as Novozymes does not transport, import or export waste deemed "hazardous" under the terms of the Basel Convention Annex I, II, III and VIII.

 Firkant 

 

EN32

Water sources and related ecosystems/habitats significantly affected by discharges of water and runoff

 

 

 Prik 

 


Suppliers

EN33

Performance of suppliers relative to environmental components of programmes and procedures described in response to Governance Structure and Management Systems (Section 3.16)

 

 

 Prik 


Transport

EN34

Significant environmental impacts of transportation used for logistical purposes

 

 

 Prik 


Overall

EN35

Total environmental expenditures by type

 
  • We do not report costs per type as our environmental management is integrated.
