GN has implemented several policies for managing material impacts related to its own workforce. As a member of the UN Global Compact since 2010, GN is committed to safeguarding human rights and labor rights principles in its own workforce. Accordingly, GN operations and business activities are guided by the UN guiding principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. GN upholds human rights principles through the implementation of policies and procedures which prevent discrimination, harassment, advances diversity, and ensure fair and equal treatment of its workforce.

As our health and safety processes are currently decentralized, 20% of all the GN employees are covered by a health and safety management system. This includes global manufacturing employees most at risk of being impacted, where 70% of employees based in Xiamen and Johor Bahru are covered by a health and safety management system.
