GN’s Environmental Policy addresses our pollution-related negative impact in terms of substances used during both production in our own operations and outsourced manufacturing. Our policy commitments include compliance with all pollution-related legislation related to the use of substances of concern and very high concern, such as REACH and RoHS, and the substitution of substances with less harmful alternatives that can fulfill the same purpose, even when not legally required. This policy is supported by internal procedures on controlling and limiting the impact of incidents and emergency situations. Our Supplier Code of Conduct covers supplier requirements in terms of pollution, specifically addressing our negative impacts relating to our value chain. Through this, we expect suppliers to comply with all pollution-related legislation and proactively minimize or eliminate emissions and discharges of pollution, which can have a potential negative impact on the pollution of water, soil and food.

GN’s Environmental Policy is supported by internal procedures on controlling and limiting the impact of incidents and emergency situations. The implementation of these policy commitments is managed by senior management functions in our quality and legal functions. In support of achieving our policy intentions, we continuously evaluate and test performance to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
