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.

GN has identified six negative, potential impacts related to its own workforce, which include working time, adequate wages, and health & safety. To address these impacts, GN has implemented several policies aligned with human and labor rights principles. These include:

• Employment practices outlined in the GN Ethics Guide, ensuring voluntary freedom of association and collective bargaining.
• Health and safety policies and procedures in accordance with country legislation.
• A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy promoting equal treatment and opportunities.
• Anti-harassment policies to promote respectful culture.

Actions are determined based on international and local standards, internal policies, and employee engagement processes. GN ensures adequate resource allocation for addressing each material impact with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The effectiveness of actions is evaluated through assessments and data analysis, with continuous assessments to address emerging issues. Targets are set for managing impacts, and progress is measured using baseline data and employee engagement surveys.
