Employees at all times engage with their direct manager, HR business partner, or contact GN’s global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team, or join employee-led employee resource groups. GN also conducts webinars, communication, and awareness campaigns on topics such as mental health, neurodiversity, and health and safety. Additionally, GN has established employee resource groups that aim to gain insights into the perspectives of marginalized employees. This includes a global network of female professionals in GN, a global network for LGBT+ colleagues and allies, and a network for black colleagues and supportive allies across the company.

In 2024, GN made significant strides in its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Key achievements include:

• Implementation of a new governance model ensuring women are considered in all leadership appointments, resulting in 40% of leadership promotions and hires being women.
• Development and launch of DEI awareness training for all leaders.
• Inclusive leadership workshops for the Executive Leadership Team and their direct reports.
• Execution of ten DEI events and internal multi-channel campaigns covering different aspects of diversity.

These initiatives are aimed at addressing the identified material potential negative impact related to the lack of diversity and apply across all Group companies.

GN has identified six negative, potential impacts related to its own workforce, which include working time, adequate wages, and health & safety. To address these impacts, GN has implemented several policies aligned with human and labor rights principles. These include:

• Employment practices outlined in the GN Ethics Guide, ensuring voluntary freedom of association and collective bargaining.
• Health and safety policies and procedures in accordance with country legislation.
• A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy promoting equal treatment and opportunities.
• Anti-harassment policies to promote respectful culture.

Actions are determined based on international and local standards, internal policies, and employee engagement processes. GN ensures adequate resource allocation for addressing each material impact with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The effectiveness of actions is evaluated through assessments and data analysis, with continuous assessments to address emerging issues. Targets are set for managing impacts, and progress is measured using baseline data and employee engagement surveys.

To set targets, GN gathers baseline data on the current performance of the material impacts identified. GN also uses data available from employee engagement for setting and monitoring target performance. This includes GN’s biannual employee engagement survey, employee resource groups and representatives, and other channels available for raising concerns. Based on the target performance and recommendations from management reviews and employee engagement, GN continuously identifies lessons learnt and improvements.
