Novozymes' sites undertake annual self-assessments to document compliance with a number of social minimum standards based on international conventions. The self-assessments cover freedom of association, non-discrimination, working hours, salary and benefits, disciplinary measures, child labour and forced labour. They are undertaken using web-based tools and include an account of relevant management systems. All sites complied with the minimum standards in 2005. The self-assessments also made it possible to identify good practice in a number of areas and share experiences among sites. |

Evaluation of suppliers |
|
|
|
80% of all suppliers of raw materials for enzyme production (measured in purchasing value) carried out self-assessments in 2005 to document compliance with a number of social minimum standards based on international conventions. These are the same minimum standards which form the basis for internal self-assessment at Novozymes' sites (see Global minimum standards). |
