Future of Europe: "It's about seeing the potential in greener solutions rather than treating them as risks." Our colleague EVP Tina Sejersg?rd Fan? represented Novonesis at Danish Industry’s annual summit last week. She gave a presentation with a business perspective on the future of Europe: "The green transition represents a unique opportunity for Europe to shine on the global stage. That is far from the case today. Complicated approval processes within the EU lead to slower market entry for greener solutions compared to other regions like the U.S. and China," she said. Outside of Europe, significant investments are made in biosolutions, representing alternatives to fossil-based technologies. Tina listed three key priorities that are important for the EU to address: 1. Fit-for-purpose regulation 2. Efficiency of financial support 3. Strengthened innovation potential According to her, it is essentially about seeing the potential in greener solutions rather than treating them (primarily) as risks. #novonesis #biosolutions #EUGreenDeal #greentransition Photos are by Joshua Andrew Gross.?

Today is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. How can biosolutions help reduce food waste? Every year, more than 1 billion tons of food is wasted, equaling about one third of all food produced for human consumption in the world. Join us to help create awareness of solutions to this global issue. Addressing food waste requires a long-term, multidisciplinary strategy that focuses on both food quality and consumer behavior. One example where our biosolutions have an impact is within dairy products. Fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese remain safe and nutritious even at the end of their shelf life. However, due to 'use by date' labels, consumers often discard them prematurely. It is estimated that up to 10% of dairy products are wasted due to date labelling in the EU alone. By naturally extending shelf life, educating consumers on food safety and improving labeling practices, we can make significant strides in reducing food waste. Check out our suggested four steps to prevent food waste in the illustration. If you are interested to learn more about biosolutions for dairy, go to our dedicated showcase page on LinkedIn here: Novonesis Dairy. Our colleagues are working on preventing and reducing food waste in many areas, including our enzyme solutions for baking that improve shelf life for bread, biscuits and flat bread. These solutions have saved an estimated 80 billion loaves of bread from being thrown away. #foodwaste #biosolutions #FightAgainstFoodWaste #novonesis

"We have the answers for the future ready and available." Our CEO Ester Baiget shares her reflections as she was leaving New York City and the United Nations General Assembly with a sense of optimism and confidence:? "I have confidence in the momentum. We are moving in the right direction. We are sitting at the right tables, and we have the answers for the future ready and available. With partnerships and collaborations and with biosolutions as the strong enabler of the future ahead of us, we are going to make the change happen," she says. #biosolutions #climateaction #UNGA79 #novonesis??

How can biosolutions help accelerate the green transition of our food production? Our colleagues attended several events during New York Climate Week around the topic of transforming our food systems. Morten Enggaard Rasmussen, EVP of People & Stakeholder Relations, was a speaker at the Sustainability Summit NYC hosted by the Consulate General of Denmark In New York and shared his thoughts on the role of biosolutions: “Biosolutions are a key element in transforming our food systems towards a more sustainable path. The solutions we need are already here today. Now it is more a question of how do we scale and how do we invest in bringing these products and solutions forward to truly transform the food system in the future,” he said.? In addition, we attended the Food and Agriculture Roundtable hosted by the Food & Bio Forum to talk further about how we can collaborate across sectors. This will enable us to move faster towards a more resilient and sustainable food system that will help build a future with healthier lives and a healthier planet for the coming generations. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the important discussions about the future of food. #biosolutions #foodsystems #NYclimateweek #futureoffood

There is power in biosolutions to reduce emissions everywhere, putting the world on the path to a more sustainable future for the coming generations. At Novonesis, we believe that we need to empower the next generation and bring forward their perspective in the solutions needed to address climate change and the health of people and planet, enabling them to participate in tomorrow’s decisions and in making the necessary change a reality on a global scale. Right now, our biosolutions are helping customers to reduce and even capture emissions from industry. They’re transforming plants into power and heat. They’re enabling lower-carbon transport fuels and proteins. They’re shrinking the carbon footprint of agriculture. And they’re helping consumers to cut their carbon emissions when doing laundry. If we work together, we can accelerate our path towards a more climate-neutral society. Learn more here:? https://lnkd.in/ggfdMUq6 #biosolutions #climateaction #UNGA79 #nyclimateweek

On the ground in New York City: How we decarbonize the world and re-invent agriculture Our colleague Thomas Bomhoff, VP of Global Sustainability, shares his reflections after attending events during New York Climate Week and the Summit of the Future at UN General Assembly. He talks about two current discussions that he finds interesting: "We are not talking about if the world should decarbonize, but more how. So how do we direct the money in the system towards climate action. The other discussion is about agriculture having to re-invent itself for future decarbonization. That is interesting for Novonesis since biosolutions offer many solutions for that re-invention of agriculture," he says. #biosolutions #UNGA79 #NYclimateweek #novonesis???

Novonesis CEO sees light in the darkness: "Investments in green energy are twice as high as in fossil fuels." In an interview with Danish publication Finans, our CEO Ester Baiget talks about attending the UN General Assembly in New York City and fighting for climate action on the global political stage. She emphasizes that progress has been made, even though we are not moving fast enough: "There is definitely a lot of noise right now. But I always focus on data, and change is clearly happening. This year, investments in green energy are twice as large as new investments in fossil fuels. As I see it, every single dollar invested in fossil fuels is a dollar too much. But it is a big step in the right direction that twice as much is now invested in the responsible solution, which is the future," she says. In New York, Ester will share the message that biosolutions from Novonesis and other biotech companies have the potential to solve 8% of the world's CO2 problem. She also speaks on behalf of other top executives who are trying to push politicians in a greener direction.? "The good news is that we are actually doing what it takes, but we are just not doing it fast enough. We are not on the right path in terms of solving the CO2 development, but we are in a better place than if we had not started the transition. Businesses are a critical part of the transition, but we need to work together to achieve the necessary changes. This is crucial for financing, regulation, investments, and innovation," she continues.

We are in New York City for United Nations General Assembly and NYC Climate Week to help push for a faster adoption of green solutions to build a better future for the next generations. Our CEO Ester Baiget had the honor of announcing the Business Pact for the Future at the United States Council for International Business (USCIB) Summit as well as attending a United Nations Global Compact board meeting alongside UN secretary-general António Guterres.? ? "The world is at a pivotal moment. Only 17% of the SDGs are on track to be implemented, and we must mitigate the disruptive consequences of climate change and bring people’s needs back into balance with those of our planet. The UN is at the center of enabling strong partnerships, and we are here to bring the voice of a better world with biology," she said.?
