GN has established an internal repairability index which assesses the ease of repairing a product. Based on the repairability index calculation, products are divided into five categories: highly repairable, very repairable, medium repairable, low repairable and not repairable. For new audio, video and gaming products, product repairability is assessed in the early product development phase to provide input to the project team on how to improve product design for repair. In 2024, GN conducted repairability assessment for 19 enterprise and gaming products. The analysis conducted shows that 60% to 70% of the assessed products are highly repairable (5 out of 5 on our repairability index) or very repairable (4 out of 5 on our repairability index). Hearing products were not included in the formal assessment process, but returned in-warranty hearing devices are remanufactured at our site in Malaysia and returned to the market as replacement devices. The remanufacturing rate of 48% demonstrates the repairability of these products.
