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.

In 2024, GN made significant strides in its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Key achievements include:

• Implementation of a new governance model ensuring women are considered in all leadership appointments, resulting in 40% of leadership promotions and hires being women.
• Development and launch of DEI awareness training for all leaders.
• Inclusive leadership workshops for the Executive Leadership Team and their direct reports.
• Execution of ten DEI events and internal multi-channel campaigns covering different aspects of diversity.

These initiatives are aimed at addressing the identified material potential negative impact related to the lack of diversity and apply across all Group companies. GN measures progress against established targets and ensures accountability at all levels of the organization.
