Company Is Honored for Its Commitment

On May 8, 2004, Novo Nordisk received the Angel Award for its dedication to improving the lives of individuals with diabetes and its unwavering focus on treating and preventing diabetes worldwide. The award was presented at the Los Angeles Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) annual gala benefiting the Stem Cell Research Fund.

Along with its work with the JDRF, Novo Nordisk is active in a number of initiatives as part of the company's dedication to social responsibility. The company recently launched the Diabetes Aware campaign with the Entertainment Industry Foundation to educate Americans about the importance of detection, monitoring, and proper management of this chronic, progressive disease.
