We strive to ensure a good work-life balance. However, for some employees, there is a potentially negative impact on their mental health in relation to work, especially from stress, which can occur in the short term. This is especially seen in busy periods, where managing expectations and priorities between employee and manager becomes increasingly important.

We identify and assess our impacts on human rights on an ongoing basis. In the second half of 2024, we carried out a corporate wide human rights assessment, covering the full value chain of activities. The assessment included a review of our own operations, with consideration of the geographies where we operate and the industries we work in. We also mapped actual and potential impacts in our value chain.

Our Code of Conduct explicitly addresses Demant’s zero tolerance of any form of slavery or human trafficking, use of compulsory labour or the employment of children, as well as discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment.

Demant engages with suppliers that operate in countries and industries where there is a risk of negatively impacting workers’ rights. This is especially the case in the electronic components manufacturing sector where impacts can be severe, e.g. poor health and safety standards, suboptimal working conditions and unfair labour practices. These negative conditions impact the individual workers and their families and take place in the short term. These impacts may be linked to our operations, products or services through our business relationships.

Leadership of Group Legal and Compliance is accountable for the Code, while the implementation of the Code lies with Demant’s supply chain departments. Through our Supply Chain Sustainability Policy, we summarise our commitment to advancing sustainability across our supply chain. The Policy covers all direct upstream buying practices across the Demant Group as well as supplier risk assessment and risk-based due diligence steps. The implementation of this Policy is a shared responsibility between the leadership of the two main supply chain departments in Demant, Hearing Aids and Diagnostics, respectively. Our commitment to respecting human rights, including the rights of value chain workers is outlined in our Sustainability Policy. Please refer to the section S1 on page 86.

Our Third Party Compliance Code outlines our expectations toward suppliers and business partners regarding working conditions for workers in the value chain. This includes the core International Labour Organization (ILO) standards on working conditions, workplace health and safety, freedom of association, forced/child labour and non-discrimination. We expect all our direct suppliers to comply with this Code, which is included as an appendix in all new contracts with suppliers.
