Novonesis

Novonesis develops biology-based solutions - including enzymes, functional proteins and microorganisms - intended to transform how the world produces, consumes and lives. The company employs more than 10,000 people and serves upwards of 30 industries, drawing on over a century of combined expertise from its heritage companies. Its work spans the technical domains of biotechnology, enzymology, protein science, microbiology, fermentation, industrial biology and sustainability science.

The company's product portfolio is organised around three biological platforms. Enzyme products are developed for industrial and consumer applications; functional proteins are derived from the company's biological expertise; and microorganism-based solutions draw on its biological platforms. These are applied across the food and beverage, agriculture, household care, industrial biotechnology, health and nutrition, and life sciences sectors.

Novonesis describes a culture of collaboration and innovation in which teams are given real ownership and work is organised across functions, with an emphasis on impact rather than hierarchy. Sustainability is presented as integral to how the company operates rather than a separate objective. The stated mission is a focus on healthier lives and a healthier planet, supported by an inclusive culture intended to foster belonging and respect.
