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.

GN’s whistleblower hotline, the GN Alertline, is accessible to all internal and external stakeholders for raising their concerns and reporting business ethics misconduct. The GN Alertline is a secure and confidential reporting tool hosted by an independent third party. All investigations are handled by designated and trusted GN employees. The GN Alertline permits internal and external stakeholders to report concerns in good faith and is part of GN’s commitment to being a credible and responsible company, with a continuous focus on improving corporate governance processes.
