GN’s Anti-Corruption Policy outlines expectations and requirements to prevent bribery and corruption. It also provides guidance for employees on how to report misconduct or seek clarification on concerns. The policy is communicated through internal awareness campaigns, e-learnings and in-person training sessions. The Policy defines the purpose, scope, ownership, and responsibilities related to the management of anti-corruption. GN has appointed Group Business Ethics & Compliance department as the designated whistleblower investigation unit, in compliance with Danish law. Oversight of these investigations lies with GN’s Audit Committee, which is updated quarterly on findings and recommendations on cases received through the GN Alertline.

Moreover, we actively engage with our suppliers, considering supply chain risks and sustainability impacts relevant for GN’s value chain. Our procurement process, guided by our Supplier Code of Conduct, sets social and environmental criteria for selecting suppliers. GN’s Sustainability ESG policy further supports our work on ESG topics with our supplier base. As part of GN’s overall supplier engagement, we maintain strong relationships with suppliers to avoid or minimize impacts of disruptions, engage in training, dialogue, as well as conducting regular site visits and audits. All suppliers are screened accordingly on social and environmental performance to further support insights into potential impacts and risks in our value chain. We also encourage all suppliers to be certified or follow the requirements of relevant standards on various sustainability matters, such as the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines.
