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.

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.
