Working at Demant should not only be an enjoyable experience, both professionally and personally, but also physically and psychologically safe. This is the basis of the working environment we want to promote for all our employees. For all our employees, we strive to ensure a good work-life balance. However, for some of them, 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.

Our commitment to a good working environment is framed in our Code of Conduct, which outlines the minimum standards and ethical principles applicable to all employees regardless of their location and the nature of their work. The Policy applies to all employees, including full-time, part-time, and temporary staff across all departments and locations.

We endorse the principles of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. 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.

For managing health and safety, we have site-specific prevention policies and management systems across our operational sites. The management systems include risk assessment processes, health and safety instructions, safety walks and talks, training, accident investigation management and continuous review of processes. Site management is responsible for occupational health and safety.

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.
