In addressing IROs related to equal pay, harassment and diversity, GN has a dedicated Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy which outlines beliefs and aspirations for equal treatment and opportunities for all its employees. Similarly, a dedicated anti-harassment policy promotes respectful culture and aims to raise awareness about bullying and how to report inappropriate behavior. GN policies are designed for all employee groups at every level to eliminate discrimination and uphold human rights principles.

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.
