Case Study: Novo Nordisk achieves faster, more accurate integrated and SEC reporting with Workiva's Wdesk

Novo Nordisk A/S Relieves Reporting Headaches

Novo Nordisk A/S, a global healthcare company, needed a more reliable way to prepare SEC filings and an integrated annual report that combined financial, social, and environmental data. The team was struggling with duplicated data across reports, version-control issues, and time-consuming review and audit processes.

By adopting Wdesk, Novo Nordisk created a single source of truth with linked data, cloud-based content control, directed comments, blacklines, and a robust audit trail. The platform eliminated redundant work, sped up report preparation and approvals, improved transparency and accuracy, and was rolled out to investor relations for quarterly announcements with plans to expand into further management reporting.
