Background
Novo Nordisk's Israel links are limited to routine commercial operations: a local affiliate in Kfar Saba (clinical, medical, regulatory and product-release functions) and diabetes/growth-hormone clinical trials conducted at Israeli medical centers. No corporate donations to Israeli or pro-Israel causes, no in-kind relief giving, and no pro-Israel political spending were identified; this is a thin, honest pass showing ordinary business presence only.
