Additionally, provide a description of activities that result in material positive impacts, such as updated purchasing practices or capacity-building initiatives for supply chain workers. Specify the types of value chain workers that are positively affected or could be positively affected, and indicate if these positive impacts occur in specific countries or regions.

Question

Accepted Answer

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. Our commitment to respecting human rights, including the rights of value chain workers is outlined in our Sustainability Policy. We have several policies in place that are designed to identify, document and manage potential impacts on workers in our value chain and to mitigate associated risks.
