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.

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.
