All employees and consultants are required to complete the annual mandatory Ethics Guide e-learning. In-person training is also offered where needed. Additionally, all new employees are asked to read and acknowledge the GN Ethics Guide as part of their onboarding.

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.
