Our strong collaboration with suppliers enables us to consistently deliver quality products in scale and thus ensure timely delivery throughout our value chain. In our Hearing Aids business area, we have deepened this collaboration by integrating sustainability into our partnerships through our supplier engagement programme. The programme’s objective is to collaborate more closely with suppliers on decarbonisation and address human rights impacts in our supply chain.

We continuously take steps to gain insight into the perspectives of the impacts of our operations on workers in our value chain. Currently, supplier engagement does not involve direct engagement with workers in the value chain.
