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.

To raise awareness about the GN Alertline and to encourage employees to speak up, GN regularly conducts communication campaigns, latest in 2024. The communication campaigns also enable GN to assess employee awareness and trust of the channels provided. In addition, guidelines on how to access the GN Alertline and report cases are available on GN’s intranet and external website. GN’s commitment to protect those reporting misconduct from any kind of retaliation or repercussions is outlined in GN’s Non-Retaliation Policy. For more information on the Non-Retaliation Policy and GN Alertline, see chapter G1 Business Conduct.
