A range of Novo Nordisk colleagues contribute their expertise to activities covered by the Register, directly or through trade associations. We have used 10% relevant working time as the threshold for including colleagues in our FTE calculations.
We have updated our annual declaration for 2022 using EFPIA membership costs from 2021. EFPIA are preparing their Transparency Register-related costs ahead of their annual declaration, which is due later this year. We will update our declaration for 2022 when we have these revised costs. Novo Nordisk’s overall contribution to EFPIA is similar in 2022 to 2021 so we consider this an appropriate approach.Person in charge of EU relations
