Board or individual/sub-set of the Board or other committee appointed by the Board CC1.1a

5 Please identify the position of the individual or name of the committee with this responsibility i. The Health Safety and Environmental (HSE) Council is the committee with the highest level of responsibility for climate change.the Group Senior Vice President of Supply Operations & Engineering,also member of the Corporate Management Group (CMG,) is appointed by the Cheif Executive Officer to be chairman for Lundbecks HSE Council. Apart from the Chairman the HSE Council consists of 3 managers: 1 Group Senior Vice President, that is also member of the Corporate Management Group, and 2 Vice Presidents) appointed by the chairman and 3 employees elected by and among HSE representatives in the organisation. Through this all parts of the company (Supply Operations and Engineering, Research & Development and Administrative areas) are represented in the HSE Council. The two members og CMG can bring relevant topics to CMG where also 3 members of the Board (our CEO and two executice vice presidents) are members. ii. The HSE Council acts on behalf of the Corporate Management Group in respect of HSE matters including climate change. Decisions in the HSE Council cover all of Lundbeck. The role of the HSE Council is to: Define and evaluate corporate HSE policies, strategies, guidelines and corporate activities and targets. Evaluate Lundbecks HSE performance quarterly and annually at the meetings. Communicate corporate decisions to managers and employees at all sites. Respond to enquiries from managers and employees. The Council have 1 meeting every quarter of the year. Climate change issues are considered to be one of the significant environmental issues in Lundbeck and are therefore managed and controlled like all other significant HSE issues by the HSE Council. This means that Lundbecks Climate strategy (The CO2 strategy) and our longterm CO2 emission target is decided by the HSE Council. In order to implement and coordinate the necessary energy and CO2 emission reduction initiatives, Lundbeck has set up a Corporate Energy Forum. All Lundbecks production and research sites are represented in this forum. The forum coordinates energy initiatives at all the sites and exchanges experinces and possibilities about energy and CO2 emission reduction. At each site energy teams, consisting of engineering and maintenance employees, perform energy screenings and implement energy reducing initiatives.

Strategy CC2.1 Please select the option that best describes your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Integrated into multi-disciplinary company wide risk management processes CC2.1a

9 Please provide further details on your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Frequency of monitoring To whom are results reported? Geographical areas considered How far into the future are risks considered? Comment Six-monthly or more frequently Board or individual/subset of the Board or committee appointed by the Board The risk management system includes our global operations in all countries we are operating in. > 6 years Assessment of risks related to climate change is an integral part of our corporate risk management system. The principal aim of Lundbeck s risk management is to strike the right balance between risk exposure and value generation. Our risk management processes are constantly updated and adapted to match internal and external requirements. This gives our Corporate Management Group an accurate overview of current activities and resources, and a clear basis for decision-making on Lundbeck s overall risk exposure. Lundbeck uses a Financial Longterm Model for long-term strategic and financial planning. Both results from Lundbecks corporate risk management system and input concerning business opportunities are used in this model. The result is presented to the Corporate Management Group. The Chief Executive Officer brings relevant information and decisions to the Board of Directors. CC2.1b Please describe how your risk and opportunity identification processes are applied at both company and asset level RISKS on both COMPANY and ASSET level are identified and managed through the same risk management system. Our fundamental risk management principle is that risks, in addition to central monitoring and coordination, must be managed by decentralized business units as they have the most extensive knowledge of such risks and the best possibility of mitigating the exposure. The individual business units take a systematic approach to monitoring, identifying, quantifying and responding to risks. Furthermore, we have defined reporting, decision-making and follow-up procedures and routines. The decentralized risk evaluation in the business units is regularly reported and processed by the risk management organization. The manager of the Corporate HSE department has a specific focus on climate change risks at company level eg regulatory risks, and the site facility managers has focus on risks at asset level. An important input to risks at asset level is our insurance inspections, that are performed every second year at all our sites. OPPORTUNITIES are continuously identified and managed by the same decentralized business units. As a part of the daily work opportunities are identified and discussed by employees and managers. Evaluation of identified opportunities and decisions are taken in the units. Some opportunities are implemented immediately

10 in the units. For example-most energy reducing activities are identified and implemented in the units. Other more strategic opportunities are reported up in the line organization following the defined procedures for communication and decision making. Climate change risks and opportunities, at both COMPANY and ASSET level, are also evaluated at HSE Council meetings quarterly. The project manager for the CO2 strategy reports to the HSE Council about climate related opportunities and risks. For instance are regulatory requirements evaluated in the HSE council. The Chairman of the HSE Council reports into the risk management system. CC2.1c How do you prioritize the risks and opportunities identified? Materiality of the risks is determined by combining the individual risks probability and impact. RISKS are assessed both as gross risks and net risks. The assessment of gross risk assumes that no mitigating actions have been implemented, whereas net risk assessment takes into account implemented mitigating actions and their anticipated effect. Lundbeck strives to have as many risks mitigated as possible. Eg we do secure our facilities against extreme weather situations. These initiatives are based on decentralized risk analysis performed by the organization. Lundbecks corporate risk register provides a consolidated picture of our risk exposure by detailing each risk, risk category and type. The risk descriptions give details of the event, its current status, the status of the response, an assessment of likelihood and potential impact, and the person responsible for managing the risk. Our reporting process defines 6 risk categories: 1. Research and development 2. Market conditions 3. Infrastructure. Risks related to climate change issues, including reputational, regulatory, physical and other climate related risks, is categorized under Infrastructure. 4. Reputation 5. Legal rights 6. Financial matters The risk categories are defined into three risk types: external, actionable or strategic. Climate change risks are typically defined as external or actionable risks. Using this information, the Risk Office assesses the overall risk exposure and reviews it with the Corporate Management Group. After this, the Corporate Management Group presents a two-dimensional risk heat map which is shared with the Board of Directors annually. Climate change OPPORTUNITIES are decided on the basis of the priorities in our business strategy. On the short timeline 1-2 years many decisions are taken in the decentralized units eg energy reduction plans. On the long timeline, more than 2 years, opportunities are evaluated and decided according to our Financial Longterm Model. CC2.1d

11 Please explain why you do not have a process in place for assessing and managing risks and opportunities from climate change, and whether you plan to introduce such a process in future Main reason for not having a process Do you plan to introduce a process? Comment CC2.2 Is climate change integrated into your business strategy? Yes CC2.2a Please describe the process of how climate change is integrated into your business strategy and any outcomes of this process i. Lundbecks strategic path is built on six pillars. Climate change mitigation and adaptation is closely related to two of the pillars: Organizational efficiency and Highperformance culture. In the pillar Organizational efficiency we work targeted with our Fit-for-the-Future program that aim to reduce complexity, increase organizational efficiency and free up resources. Our targeted work by optimizing energy efficiency and continuously improve our buildings and production facilities free up resources. In the pillar High performance culture our focus is to create a workplace that attracts, develop and retains the best employees. We believe it matters for Lundbeck employees that they work in a company that takes e.g. climate change seriously. And we expect everyone to live our corporate values eg. about being Responsible, which means that Lundbeck employees are expected to act responsibly towards colleagues, the environment, including climate, and the external community. This is underlined by our signing of UN Global Compact and by our CO2 strategy. HERE WE HAVE MADE A FIRM COMMITMENT TO REDUCE OUR CO2 EMISSION, AND BREAK THE CORRELATION BETWEEN BUSINESS GROWTH, ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND THE RESULTING CO2 EMISSION. Through our annual target setting process and our Global Performance Management Process all managers and employees work towards supporting the Business strategy e.g. all managers with specific influence on climate performance have individual climate performance targets. Climate change also influence Lundbecks strategy through the systematic work in our HSE organization. Eg the HSE council meets quarterly and evaluates our progress towards reaching our CO2 target and decides on new corporate initiatives. Future risks and opportunities like changing regulation or reputational possibilities are also discussed. The chairmen of the HSE council is member of the Corporate Management Group (CMG) and report climate change issues with significant importance for the business strategy to CMG. ii.

12 Following aspects have influenced the business strategy and the way we work: - International and national energy targets set up expectations to companies about being responsible: Taking voluntary action to reduce our CO2 emissions is considered an act of responsibility. In 2014 we revised our long-term reduction target: We want to reduce our CO2 emission by 55% in 2020 compared to Furthermorewe have signed Global Compact and comply with FTSE4GOODs climate change criteria. We believe this contributes to our reputation about being responsible and build up trust among stakeholders. - Adaptation: Our continuous focus on efficiency in our production supports our work with energy on demand and reduced energy consumption and CO2 emission. By reducing energy costs we optimize the resilience of our operations towards rising energy prices, - taxes and the like. - Regulatory changes: Legislation about Energy review, building efficiency and Best Available Technology set up requirements to companies. These requirements are implemented in new or existing procedures. - Experienced physical climate changes like heavy rainfall and storms have influenced our strategy around climate change adaptation of our buildings so that they can withstand these climate changes. iii. 0-5 years: Our short term strategy has been influenced by climate change initiatives. - We have introduced integrated approach where a dedicated team of engineers and maintenance employees challenge habits and conventional thinking to identify new ways to reduce energy use. In particular optimization of ventilation and reduction of air change in production areas have been the major contributors to our energy reductions. OUR CO2 TARGET IS A DETERMINING FACTOR for the achieved results, as it clearly states our commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% in 2020 compared to This helps us mitigate the risks related to rising energy prices. - OUR STRATEGY ABOUT MAINTENANCE OF OUR FACILITIES IS IMPACTED BY THE NEED TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS. We continuously develop our sites so they can resist weather events. For instance we have built water reservoirs at selected locations in order to avoid damages from heavy rain. - We continue optimization of our facilities also in our affiliates. The target is to reduce our facilities from 36 m2/employee to 20 m2/employee. This minimizes the total square meters that must be heated or cooled. - In 2014 we decided to implement the EU directive on energy efficiency in our existing Health Safety and Environmental management system at our production and research sites worldwide. This will strengthen our systematism about energy review. - Regulatory reporting requirements and reputational considerations affect the way we communicate about our business. E.g. Lundbeck has made it a priority to be able to track and report our CO2 emissions. In our UN Global Compact Progress Report we communicate specifically about our climate performance. - We expect to develop our evaluation of suppliers and partners climate performance in order to maintain a strong supply chain and build up good partnerships. iv. More than 5 years: After Changes in our CO2 strategy will continuously be integrated in our business strategy. We expect to develop our CO2 strategy with more ambitious CO2 targets and focus on renewable energy like introduction of solar panels. - The continuous focus on energy efficiency in Production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and R&D facilities will continue to be an important activity in becoming an even more efficient business. This also includes development of new technologies towards a more flexible production. An example is our cooperation with the technical university of Denmark where we develop continuous production and get a more flexible and less energy consuming production. v. The overall focus on production efficiency, a strong supply chain and our systematic approach to identify and act on climate risks and opportunities is considered a competitive advantage. It supports our Business strategy and secures our ability to produce more with less and thereby support our future business. We also believe that our climate related activities and communication enhances our reputation. vi. The most substantial business decisions in the reporting year influenced by the climate change driven aspects of the strategy is that we have: - Decided a new long term CO2 target: In 2020 we will reduce our CO2 emission by 55% compared to We have also revised our annual target for We will reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2 emission by min. 4%/year. - Implemented or introduced integrated approach at all sites. At our headquarter it has resulted in a 12% reduction of the energy consumption in 2014 compared to

13 Decided to implement the requirements in the EU directive for energy efficiency at all Research and production sites worldwide. CC2.2b Please explain why climate change is not integrated into your business strategy CC2.2c Does your company use an internal price of carbon? Yes CC2.2d Please provide details and examples of how your company uses an internal price of carbon In Denmark Lundbeck have indirectly a price of carbon. In Denmark energy suppliers and other consultancies have a price on energy reductions. This means that it is possible to sell energy reductions to these companies. When new projects in Lundbeck are identified, energy savings and carbon reductions are caculated and the benefit from selling the energy reductions is included in the final calculations for the project. This means that projects with large energy reduction potentials are favoured. In general low energy consuming equipment have a high priority in Lundbeck and we conduct risk assessment priori to sourcing new equipment to e.g. assess the energy consumption. Lundbeck have considered to develop other kinds of prices on carbon. So far the conclusion is that it has not been neccesary to implement other prices on carbon. The internal portofolie of energy reducing projects have been large and most of the projects have been approved. In general energy considerations are included in our building and maintenance projects. CC2.3

14 Do you engage in activities that could either directly or indirectly influence public policy on climate change through any of the following? (tick all that apply) Trade associations Other CC2.3a On what issues have you been engaging directly with policy makers? Focus of legislation Corporate Position Details of engagement Proposed legislative solution CC2.3b Are you on the Board of any trade associations or provide funding beyond membership? Yes CC2.3c Please enter the details of those trade associations that are likely to take a position on climate change legislation Trade association Is your position on climate change consistent with theirs? Please explain the trade association's position How have you, or are you attempting to, influence the position? UN Global Compact Consistent UN Global Compact have ten priniciples where 3 are related to environment which include climate change: - Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges; - Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and - Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies. Lundbeck have signed the ten principles in UN Global Compact and we are funding UN Global Compact beyond the ordinary membership. We are not attempting to influence further.

15 CC2.3d Do you publicly disclose a list of all the research organizations that you fund? CC2.3e Do you fund any research organizations to produce or disseminate public work on climate change? CC2.3f Please describe the work and how it aligns with your own strategy on climate change CC2.3g Please provide details of the other engagement activities that you undertake Lundbeck continuously engage with different kind of stakeholders: Trade associations: Lundbeck participate in networks in The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, The Danish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry and the Confederation of Danish Industries. Lundbecks position to climate change is very close to the trade association s positions. E.g. The Confederation of Danish Industries where we have several memberships. The Confederation of Danish Industries works to ensure that the business competitiveness, a clean environment and energy security are utilized to create the foundation for long-term and sustainable growth - green growth. As a member of the networks we participate in meetings where upcoming and new legislation is discussed. We also comment on new legislation before it is defined finally. Typically the trade association gathers comments from member companies and then makes a common comment to the authorities. In 2014 issues related to climate change e.g. the implementation of the European Energy efficiency directive, which have been implemented in national legislation, have been discussed. This directive requires that large companies carry out energy review. This has been discussed in the Danish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry and in the Confederation of Danish Industries. Lundbeck has advocated for a clarification of which companies that are covered by the directive in the individual EU countries, as well as a uniform authentication system in individual countries. In Lundbeck we have decided to implement the requirements in the directive at all production and research sites, that are covered by our Health, Safety and Environmental system, also outside Europe.

16 In the Confederation of Danish Industries also energy prices and taxes and carbon taxes have been discussed. Lundbeck support initiatives that ensure equal business competitiveness across countries and prices and taxes that reflect the impact on climate and the environment in general. Other: IN 2014 LUNDBECK INVITED THE COMMISIONER FOR CLIMATE Connie Hedegaard to our headquarter in Denmark. The purpose of this invitation was to give the commissioner an insight in the pharmaceutical industry both possibilities and challenges. Climate change was a big topic on the agenda and both the results Lundbeck have achieved and our wishes to the future regulation was presented and discussed with the commissioner. Lundbeck also sign and comply with international initiatives, which include climate issue. For instance we have committed us to the Global Compact and work continuously with improving the ten principles in UN Global Compact including the principle concerning climate changes. We also participate in climate network in the municipal. In this network we support the development of tools to manage climate issues in companies. These tools are available for all member companies on the internet. Direct engagement with policy makers: Lundbeck have entered a partnership with the Danish Agency for Environmental Protection. The purpose of the partnership is to influence on new BREF documents. In 2014 it has been the BREF about wastewater and emissions. The next BREF will be about fine organic chemicals and we expect also to be able to participate in a relevant partnership when the BREF about Energy Efficiency must be revised. CC2.3h What processes do you have in place to ensure that all of your direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with your overall climate change strategy? The internal Communication concerning climate issues is coordinated and controlled through Lundbecks HSE organisation and through Lundbecks HSE management system that is certified according to ISO and OHSAS It is described in Lundbecks HSE management system how internal and external communication is coordinated in the company. All communication with authorities, trade associations and participation in other networks is coordinated and primarily performed by the Corporate HSE department. It is solely managers and employees from the Corporate HSE department that make written input to new legislation. Lundbecks Corporate HSE department is responsible for Lundbecks CO2 strategy and for the follow up on all Lundbecks climate initiatives and the long-term target. This means that it is the same managers and employees that are responsible for the internal climate initiatives, which participate in the network activities and the commenting on new legislation. This ensures consistent communication about our climate change strategy. Furthermore Lundbeck participate in interviews with external journalists concerning climate issues. This can indirectly influence on policy makers. Managers that participate in such interviews have always, prior to the interview, coordinated and agreed on the content of the answers with the Director of the Corporate HSE department. CC2.3i

17 Please explain why you do not engage with policy makers CC2.4 Would your organization's board of directors support an international agreement between governments on climate change, which seeks to limit global temperature rise to under two degree Celsius from pre-industrial levels in line with IPCC scenarios such as RCP2.6? No CC2.4a Please describe your board's position on what an effective agreement would mean for your organization and activities that you are undertaking to help deliver this agreement at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP 21) Lundbeck believe that our most significant environmental aspects are our use of chemicals and our emission of chemicals and pharmaceuticals to the environment. This use and emission have potentially much more significant impact on the environment than our business' impact on the climate. Therefore our primary focus is on use and emission of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Even though we do have many initiatives in regard to climate change and we do not believe that an effective agreement would lead to significant changes in our work with climate changes, because: - Lundbeck is already working actively with carbon reductions and keeps our ambitions high by setting long term and annual targets. - We have already introduced renewable energy sources at some locations and intend to do it even more in the future. - We have integrated the environmental aspects in our evaluation of our supply chain and intend to continue to develop our tools for supplier audits. - Lundbeck already engages in political activities through network activities in trade associations and partnerships with relevant authorities like the municipal and the Danish Agency for Environmental Protection. - Lundbeck does provide information about our climate management in corporate reports and at the internet like our homepage and in CDP. And we do believe that this information is sufficient for our investors and other stakeholders. - Lundbeck have an indirectly price on carbon and do not consider at the moment that more carbon prices would change significantly on the amount of our activities to reduce carbon emissions.

24 What methods do you use to drive investment in emissions reduction activities? Method Comment Dedicated budget for energy efficiency Employee engagement Partnering with governments on technology development Internal incentives/recognition programs Internal finance mechanisms Lundbeck has a budget for energy saving investments every year. In 2014 Lundbeck invested around 3.9 MDKK. Apart from the energy efficiency projects this budget is used for energy screenings. In 2014 we established a dedicated team of internal engineers and maintenance employees who challenge habits and conventional thinking to identify new ways to reduce energy use. This team has successfully identified possibilities for closing down equipment and ventilation when it is not in use. Implementation of many of these activities only require employee hours and not financial investments. In 2015 the dedicated budget is 2 MDKK. Lundbeck involves employees in energy saving initiatives. Employees participate in; mapping energy using equipment, discussing possibilities for closing down equipment when it is not in use and running local energy campaigns in the organization. The annual achievements of the energy saving activities are published in our Health Safety and Environmental Management review, The UN Global Compact Progress report and in our internal HSE newsletter. At our chemical factory in Lumsås, Denmark we have a partnership with the Technical University about optimising equipment in the production towards continuously production. This will result in much more efficient equipment using less raw materials and less energy. Lundbeck uses monetary reward to managers that has a specific responsibility about energy savings. The reward consists of an annual bonus for meeting short term targets related to energy reduction and GHG emission reduction targets. The short term target is created by breaking down the Corporate long term target about GHG emission down to business functions. The size of the bonus is managed in our Performance Management System. In 2014 energy savings was integrated in our ordinary maintenance activities. A dedicated team of engineers and maintenance employees challenge habits and conventional thinking to identify new ways to reduce energy use. In particular optimization of ventilation and reduction of air change in production areas have been the major contributors to our energy reductions. Some of these activities require financial investments and are managed through our internal finance system for investments. In 2014 energy efficiency projects with a total investment on 4 MDKK was identified and approved for implementation in Other investment is taken from the dedicated budget for energy efficiency. CC3.3d If you do not have any emissions reduction initiatives, please explain why not Further Information
