Replanting the rainforest Almost 1,000 rainforest trees were planted and planting bags for another 2,600 trees were prepared. This was the result of around 100 employees at Novo Nordisk Central Latin America, Caribbean & Venezuela Team (CLAT) who each dedicated one hour to the project. The activity was part of Novo Nordisk’s TakeAction programme that encourages employees to act on Novo Nordisk’s Triple Bottom Line approach in their work life. The programme offers employees the opportunity to engage in volunteer activities that are making a difference for either social, environmental or health objectives. “This activity represented community support, it focused on the environment and provided a great teamwork opportunity. In this activity we were able to communicate another aspect of our Triple Bottom Line, and we were all really engaged and enjoyed the activity. We wanted to give something to the community and to the world,” says Jehovana Torres, People & Organisation coordinator, Novo Nordisk CLAT.
