This is further supported by the fact that GN do not currently have material climate-related financial risks (see page 29), and the fact that GN is not excluded from the Paris-aligned benchmarks.

Our double materiality assessment identified 29 material IROs across seven topical standards. Our IROs consist of 21 impacts and 6 risks, as well as 2 additional IROs with both an impact and a risk attached. The IROs are spread across 19 ESG topics depicted in the infographic on the next page (see topical chapters for information on IROs per ESG topic). All IROs are covered by ESRS disclosure requirements, except for the positive impact related to helping people with hearing loss, which is entity specific. As this is our first year reporting based on IROs, there are no changes compared to previous reporting periods. Overall, like any other risk, our risks are integrated in our strategy and business model through enterprise risk management processes, whereas managing our impacts is anchored in compliance with relevant legislation, as well as integration of additional policies, actions, and targets of our strategy and our business model where managing the impact requires additional efforts.
