- Indicate whether and how your policies address mitigating negative impacts related to pollution of air, water, and soil, including prevention and control, within your own operations and across your upstream and downstream value chain.

Question Id: E2-1_01
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.

- Does the undertaking's policy address substituting and minimizing the use of substances of concern, and phasing out substances of very high concern, particularly for non-essential societal use and in consumer products, within its own operations and its upstream and downstream value chain?
-
Question Id: E2-1_02
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.

Question Id: E2-2_02
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.
