New management standard SO2
In 2005 a new management standard on business integrity was integrated into Novozymes' quality management system. The standard defines six integrity principles covering bribery, facilitation payments, money laundering, protection money, gifts and political and charitable contributions. It also outlines responsibilities and processes in a business integrity management system which enables all employees to obtain guidance and anonymously raise concern about possible breaches of the principles.
