In 2024, we established an updated and more extensive sustainability supplier risk assessment process to identify and document the potential impacts that workers in our supply chain are exposed to, based on the countries and sectors in which the workers or our suppliers operate. The risk assessment process is based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis, using recognised databases, indices and reports. Continuous risk assessment of existing and new suppliers helps us gain an overview of how the interests, views and rights of value chain workers could be materially impacted by Demant, including respect for their human rights. These efforts are embedded in the supplier management process, and dedicated sustainability specialists lead this work in our procurement functions.
