We are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all of our employees. Our policies, actions and targets address our IRO on health and safety, specifically covering the negative impact as a result of work-related accidents at our major manufacturing sites. We do not have a global health and safety policy, however all GN’s manufacturing sites have locally anchored health and safety (H&S) groups and/or more global-oriented Health, Safety, & Environment (HSE) committees.

In 2024 we have made significant strides in our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. A key achievement is implementation of the new governance model that ensures women are considered in all leadership appointments. As a result, women accounted for 40% of leadership promotions and hires this year. DEI awareness training was developed and launched for all people leaders. Inclusive leadership workshops for ELT and their direct reports were held to enhance inclusive leadership capabilities in management. All ELT members and their management teams have completed the workshops.
