The leaders of GN’s business divisions and functions of scale together with the CEO and the CFO constitute the Executive Leadership Team (ELT). The ELT is responsible for monitoring, managing, and overseeing the implementation of policies, actions, and targets related to effective management of IROs. Group Sustainability, reporting directly to the CFO, holds overall responsibility for supporting the business in IRO management, sustainability strategy development, and ESG reporting.

To ensure required progress on an operational level, ESG is discussed on at least a quarterly basis in the management teams of all divisions and functions of scale.

In terms of ESG-related target setting, long-term strategic targets such as climate targets, are developed by management with support from key functions and approved by the Board through existing decision-making mechanisms.
