企業責任新篇章：國際藥廠助力濕地保護，實踐環境承諾

在夏日豔陽下，諾和諾德的員工們捲起袖子，忙碌地在新北市的五股濕地進行保護行動。他們小心翼翼地將蘆葦連根鏟起，同時與中華民國血友病協會的病友合作，深入草叢移除外來入侵種。這些行動在荒野保護協會志工的帶領下進行，目的是守護這片生態豐富的濕地，使其免於陸化及外來物種的威脅。

Under the bright summer sun, Novo Nordisk employees rolled up their sleeves and were busy carrying out conservation operations in the Wugu Wetland in New Taipei City. They carefully uprooted the reeds and worked with patients from the Hemophilia Association of the Republic of China to go deep into the grass to remove the invasive species. These actions, led by volunteers from the Wilderness Conservancy, aim to protect this ecologically rich wetland from the threats of terrestrialization and alien species.

五股濕地擁有豐富的生物多樣性，是候鳥的重要休息站及各種物種的棲息地。作為國際知名藥廠，諾和諾德一向在永續發展和環境保護上不遺餘力，尤其重視水資源管理和生物多樣性。他們相信，真正的改變來自於親身參與和實際行動，因此，將企業社會責任日定為「百年加值 和諧共生」，組織員工及其家屬，並邀請病友共同參與濕地保護活動，恢復這片土地的自然生態。

Wugu Wetland is rich in biodiversity and is an important rest stop for migratory birds and a habitat for various species. As an internationally renowned pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk has always spared no effort in sustainable development and environmental protection, paying special attention to water resources management and biodiversity. They believe that real change comes from personal participation and practical actions. Therefore, they designated the Corporate Social Responsibility Day as "Century Value Added and Harmonious Coexistence", organized employees and their families, and invited patients to participate in wetland protection activities to restore the natural ecology of this land.

Protecting Wetlands: Creating a Healthy and Sustainable Future Together

濕地被譽為「地球之腎」，在淨化水源、調節溫度和吸附碳等方面發揮重要作用。尤其在面對極端天氣和洪水時，濕地能有效減少災害衝擊。五股濕地是台灣的國家級濕地之一，由荒野保護協會負責管理。經過十年的持續努力，這片綠地不僅恢復了生機，還成為了觀賞燕子等稀有物種的重要棲息地。

Wetlands are known as the "kidneys of the earth" and play an important role in purifying water sources, regulating temperature and adsorbing carbon. Especially in the face of extreme weather and floods, wetlands can effectively reduce the impact of disasters. Wugu Wetland is one of Taiwan's national wetlands and is managed by the Wilderness Conservation Association. After ten years of continuous efforts, this green space has not only been restored to life, but has also become an important habitat for viewing rare species such as swallows.

諾和諾德選擇在這片濕地舉辦企業社會責任日活動，不僅是為了保護這片生態寶地，也是響應其對腎臟健康的專注，展示企業在推動環境和人類健康方面的決心。台灣總經理丹柏森強調：「我們的全球環境政策『零的循環』（Circular for Zero）已納入企業核心使命，從2020年起，我們全面轉用再生能源，並承諾在2045年實現價值鏈的淨零目標。」

Novo Nordisk chose to hold its Corporate Social Responsibility Day event in this wetland not only to protect this ecological treasure, but also to respond to its focus on kidney health and demonstrate the company's determination to promote environmental and human health. Taiwan General Manager Dan Baisen emphasized: "Our global environmental policy "Circular for Zero" (Circular for Zero) has been integrated into the core mission of the company. Starting from 2020, we will fully switch to renewable energy and commit to achieving the net-zero goal of the value chain in 2045."

激勵行動：攜手保護生態，戰勝慢性疾病

Inspiring action: work together to protect the ecology and defeat chronic diseases

此次活動中，中華民國血友病協會的病友也參與其中。協會監事羅素連表示，這次活動不僅讓病友們能夠走出家門，還給予他們回饋社會的機會，讓他們在移除外來種的過程中找到成就感。諾和諾德的人力資源處長簡鳳儀分享：「我們希望通過這樣的活動，不僅是一次性的志工體驗，而是能夠通過教育和實踐，讓同仁深刻理解環境保護與企業運營的緊密聯繫，將永續理念融入日常生活和工作。」

In this event, patients from the Hemophilia Association of the Republic of China also participated. Russell Lian, supervisor of the association, said that this activity not only allows the patients to get out of the house, but also gives them the opportunity to give back to the society, allowing them to find a sense of accomplishment in the process of removing alien species. Jane Fengyi, Director of Human Resources at Novo Nordisk, shared: "We hope that through such activities, it will not only be a one-time volunteer experience, but also enable colleagues to deeply understand the close connection between environmental protection and corporate operations through education and practice, and integrate the concept of sustainability into daily life and work."

此次活動以移除外來入侵植物和保護原生植物為主要目標，最終移除了137.2平方公尺的蘆葦和42.3公斤的小花蔓澤蘭，為濕地的恢復和保護作出貢獻。諾和諾德秉持著「驅動改變，攜手戰勝嚴重慢性疾病」的理念，持續在台灣深耕，推動環境保護和健康的共融發展，致力於為下一個百年加值。

The main goal of this activity was to remove invasive alien plants and protect native plants. In the end, 137.2 square meters of reeds and 42.3 kilograms of philodendron were removed, contributing to the restoration and protection of the wetland. Novo Nordisk adheres to the concept of "driving change and working together to defeat serious chronic diseases" and continues to work hard in Taiwan to promote the integrated development of environmental protection and health, and is committed to adding value in the next century.
