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 includes commitments to substitute or reduce the use of hazardous substances in our own operations and value chain wherever possible. Current and planned actions are undertaken within the parameters of our existing product development programs, financial planning, and business model. For products for which we depend on outsourced manufacturing, the focus is on phasing out halogens, specifically bromine, choline, and fluorine. For Jabra products, requirements for suppliers and verification compliance through in-house testing are set. The phase-out of bromine and chlorine is expected in 2025, and fluorine by 2026 for the same parts.

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.

Pollution of air, water, and soil is allocated to both own operations and value chain (VC).

GN has identified two negative impacts related to pollution: 1) The use of substances of concern during production processes within own operations, affecting human health and ecosystems. 2) The release of harmful substances during raw material extraction and transportation in the upstream value chain, polluting water, soil, and food. Actions include substituting hazardous substances, auditing suppliers for compliance, and phasing out specific substances in outsourced manufacturing.

GN's Environmental Policy includes compliance with legislation related to substances of concern. Actions include substituting hazardous substances, auditing suppliers, and phasing out specific substances in outsourced manufacturing. In 2024, GN reduced isopropyl alcohol consumption and substituted dichloromethane with a safer alternative. The focus is on continuous evaluation of compliance and phasing out halogens in outsourced manufacturing.

GN's Environmental Policy addresses pollution-related negative impacts, including compliance with all pollution-related legislation and minimizing emissions and discharges of pollution, which can impact air, water, soil, and food.
