We have a dedicated Data Privacy team, which is part of Demant’s Group Legal & Compliance, and in 2024, we welcomed additional privacy professionals to the team. The team is mainly based in Europe and the US, where privacy legislation was first passed and where internal demand for support has been most prevalent. However, the team also supports legal colleagues and the business in other regions, as more countries pass comprehensive data protection laws and impose local restrictions on data handling. The team maintains a privacy portal for employees, containing relevant national and international legislation and guidelines that Demant brands must comply with, training materials and access to relevant policies and processes.

In 2024, Demant established new targets for advancing positive impacts on people with hearing loss: improving more than 16 million lives by 2030 and increasing awareness by performing hearing tests on more than 2 million people by 2030. The target-setting process involved internal experts and was approved by Demant’s Executive Leadership Team and endorsed by the Board of Directors. Consumers and end-users were not directly involved in the process. Based on the estimated lifetime of hearing aids, the number of hearing aids sold, and fittings made by the Group in 2024, Demant improved 10.9 million lives in 2024.
