Novo Nordisk Annual Report 2023 COMMERCIAL EXECUTION Introducing Novo Nordisk Strategic Aspirations Risks Management Consolidated statements Additional information 30 Stepping up to serve more patients in the face of unprecedented demand Demand for Novo Nordisk medicines is soaring, driven by a global obesity epidemic and exceptional growth in the GLP-1 market. This has resulted in a record number of people being treated with our medicines, but also supply constraints. In response, we are significantly ramping up production capacity and have introduced clear prioritisation principles to ensure broad and equitable distribution of our products. Our centenary year has been characterised by extraordinary growth, driven by surging global demand for our medicines. Faced with these unprecedented circumstances, we have reshaped our commercial execution strategy to best serve the record number of patients who rely on our medicines. By ensuring supply for patients in the greatest need while continuing to bring innovation to people living with serious chronic diseases all over the world, we aim to balance our financial and societal responsibilities. Finding parity between the value we create and the values we aspire to has required some radical changes to normal commercial practices, along with a different mindset among sales staff. In many ways, we have rewritten the traditional rulebook for product launches by placing greater focus on the equitable distribution of limited supplies between different geographies and patient groups. Our top priority is that patients currently on Novo Nordisk medicines continue to have uninterrupted access to an appropriate treatment option. We are also focusing on introducing new treatments to new markets in a more measured way, aligned with our unwavering commitment to deliver innovation to as many patients across the globe as possible. At the same time, we are investing heavily in new and upgraded production facilities in Denmark and other countries, increasing our capacity to meet current and future demand for our treatments and laying the foundation for sustainable long-term growth. These investments include a record DKK 42 billion expansion of our flagship production site in Kalundborg, Denmark, which is already producing half of the world's entire supply of insulin. Outside of Denmark, we are more than doubling the production footprint of our long-established facilities in Chartres, France, with investments totalling DKK 17 billion. Both projects will include state-of-the-art, multi-product facilities to accommodate current and future products and processes. With construction under way on these major expansion projects, we strive to operate our facilities across the globe 24/7. In the past year, we have delivered more products to more patients than ever before, but such is the scale of demand that we expect periodic supply constraints to continue into 2024. STRATEGIC ASPIRATIONS 2025 1. Strengthen diabetes leadership - aim at global value market share of more than 1/3 2. More than DKK 25 billion in Obesity sales by 2025 3. Secure a sustained growth outlook for Rare Disease
