In 2024, selected suppliers, based on spend, were screened as part of the risk assessment process. In the supply chain in our Diagnostics business area, all direct upstream suppliers and approximately 80% of all indirect upstream suppliers to our Danish and Polish production sites were screened, based on the 2023 supplier base. In the supply chain in our Hearing Aids business area, 31% of direct upstream suppliers were screened, based on the 2023 supplier base, covering 99% of total direct spend. During 2025, we will implement the risk assessment process globally and align our due diligence efforts according to risk categories.
In Demant, we continuously evaluate our actions through our current practices, including direct supplier engagement, which is a part of the routine responsibilities of the procurement functions in Demant. We are currently implementing updated supplier risk assessment and due diligence processes. Therefore, we have not yet set targets to manage impact on workers in the value chain. In 2025, we will explore options to do so.
