GN’s Group Business Ethics & Compliance department collaborates with the entire organization to mitigate risks of non-compliance with anti-corruption laws and GN policies. The commitment to business ethics is anchored in GN’s Ethics Guide, which outlines the responsibilities and ethical standards expected of all employees and relevant business partners. Standards, policies, and training programs play a critical role in preventing potential misconduct across GN. Additionally, it outlines a decision-making process that supports the resolution of ethical issues and identifies GN departments who are available to help and advice. Case studies are provided to illustrate how ethical responsibilities and guidelines apply in everyday situations. Key content includes the GN Alertline, ethical decision-making, business conduct, employment practices, compliance with laws and regulations, conflict of interest, bribery, and third-party management.

The policy is communicated through internal awareness campaigns, e-learnings and in-person training sessions.
