  1. Sustainability drives innovation - environmental implications of enzymes

  2. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION The Novozymes Touchwhere we are going Novozymes vision: We imagine a future where our biological solutions create the necessary balance between better business, cleaner environment and better lives.

  3. Triple-bottom line reportingFinancial, environmental and social results are reported annually and drive management compensation. Sustainability Indexes Dow Jones Sustainability IndexesNovozymes is #1 in its field. Sustainable Business.comSelected for the World's Top 20 Sustainable Stocks. Life Cycle Assessment of ProductsMeasuring the environmental impact of enzymes on products and processes Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes Biotechnology: Novozymes A/S Genzyme Corp. Serono Quest Diagnostics Inc. Idexx Laboratories Sustainability STOXX Indexes - Healthcare: Novozymes A/S GlaxoSmithKline Novartis AG Novo Nordisk A/S Roche Holding AG Coloplast Smith & Nephew plc SSL International AstraZeneca PLC NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Novozymes is a leader in sustainability

  4. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Enzymes and the environment • Enzymes are all natural, and are derived from abundant, renewable resources • Enzymes deliver powerful cleaning and can replace harsh chemicals • Enzymes enable low temperature wash performance, resulting in energy savings • Enzymes are completely biodegradable • Enzymes do not create environmental and health concerns after use

  5. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Enzyme “tools” for environmental claims or inspiration

  6. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION User Benefit Life Cycle Assessment System 2 System 1 LCA is about comparing the environmental impacts of two or more alternative systems satisfying the same demand LCA can be used to measure environmental impact in consumer relevant terms.

  7. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Life Cycle Assessment example Increasing enzyme content in laundry detergent and reducing washing temperature from 40˚C to 30˚C

  8. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Enzymes and the environment Changes in contributions to global warming per wash when enzyme is added and washing temperature is reduced from 40˚C to 30˚C

  9. NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Making LCA output consumer relevant Annual electricity saving in Denmark 0.15 kwh · 433 million washes/year = 65 million kwh Annual electricity saving in EU: 0.15 kwh · 27 billion washes/year = 4.1 billion kwh A household can save around 30% on electricity per wash and increase in detergent prices are covered. If all Europeans reduced washing temperature from 40°C to 30°C, the continent could save electricity equivalent of two major power plants.
