Nordisk supports controversial right-wing group in the US"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past two years, Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk has donated 100,000 US dollars to a controversial Republican association of ultra-conservative attorneys general, the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is according to reports submitted to the US authorities in 2023 and 2024, which Danwatch has reviewed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AGA is behind a plethora of politically motivated bills that aim, for example, to restrict women&#8217;s right to abortion, dilute companies&#8217; ability to address climate change, and halt diversity and inclusion initiatives. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, the association of ultra-conservative attorneys general is a key player in the anti-ESG movement that is currently making headlines and has gained particular momentum under US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id36212_63c15b-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id36212_63c15b-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

id=\"raga-s-kontroversielle-sager\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>About the anti-ESG movement<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The anti-ESG movement (ESG = Environment, Social &amp; Governance) has emerged as a counter-reaction to the increasing inclusion of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in business. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The movement argues that focusing on ESG can disrupt free market forces and weaken companies&#8217; primary goal of maximizing shareholder value. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The movement has gained particular support from conservative circles in the US, including RAGA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RAGA therefore stands in contrast to the sustainable core values that the pharmaceutical company from Bagsv\u00e6rd has emphasized and preached for decades &#8211; including the use of the triple bottom line with a focus on economic, environmental and social results.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The donations secure Novo Nordisk a seat at the table and provide access to the civil service in the states represented in RAGA. But it comes with a risk of being associated with controversial topics or highly politicized agendas that can be difficult to explain,&#8221; says Benjamin Carl Krag Egerod, assistant professor at CBS specializing in lobbying. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Novo Nordisk, the donation will be used to bring about change that will benefit American diabetes patients and obese people targeted by their medicine. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our mission is to work for real change in the US healthcare system that will benefit patients, and in this context, we engage with both parties,&#8221; Novo Nordisk writes in an email to Danwatch. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group dw-fakta\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kraftig-stigning-i-novo-nordisk-udgifter-til-lobby-arbejde-i-usa\">Sharp increase in Novo Nordisk&#8217;s lobbying expenses in the US<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Sharp increase in Novo Nordisk's lobbying expenses in the US\" aria-label=\"Multiple Lines\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-c5coI\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/c5coI\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"408\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}>)}();\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"olieindustri-og-trumps-stop-the-steal-fortaelling\"><strong>The oil industry and Trump&#8217;s &#8216;stop the steal&#8217; narrative<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several of the association&#8217;s prominent members are working to develop the oil industry at the expense of climate considerations. The association&#8217;s members also played a central role when Donald Trump attempted to get a court ruling that election fraud was the reason he lost the White House in 2021.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Editor-in-Chief Amy Westervelt of the award-winning US-based global investigative media <em>Drilled<\/em> has been following RAGA and the oil industry for many years. She believes that the association&#8217;s activities are incompatible with corporate commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;RAGA has been part of a coordinated legal push to curtail abortion rights, environmental protection and gun safety laws, as well as voting restrictions. No one who considers themselves a supporter of democracy, equality, or sustainability would align themselves with this organization,&#8221; Amy Westervelt told Danwatch. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Novo Nordisk does not believe that the donation to RAGA is problematic in terms of running a responsible business. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our business practices are fully compliant with applicable laws and our continued focus on conducting business in an ethically responsible manner,&#8221; Novo Nordisk said. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benjamin Carl Krag Egerod, on the other hand, points out that few companies in the US actually donate money to politically oriented organizations like RAGA.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8220;Precisely because of the risk of damaging their reputation by being associated with divisive issues, many companies in the US refrain from donating money to political organizations such as RAGA,&#8221; says Benjamin Carl Krag Egerod. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Novo Nordisk has not responded specifically to questions about why Novo Nordisk has donated money to RAGA or what theme or issue Novo Nordisk would like RAGA to influence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is common practice for companies in the US, including Novo Nordisk, to collaborate with both Republicans and Democrats,&#8221; Novo Nordisk writes. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RAGA was established in the wake of the 1990s break with the harmful tobacco industry, which the conservative Republicans in RAGA were called upon to defend. Since then, RAGA has worked to restrict abortion rights, defended the fossil fuel industry against accusations of global warming, and introduced over 400 anti-ESG proposals in 41 states.
