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 has planned several initiatives to foster continuous improvement and accountability in its DEI efforts. These include:

• Implementation of a global leadership program for 1000+ leaders with a focus on inclusive leadership.
• An improved exit interview process to inform drivers of turnover and ensure that voluntary turnover between women and men is balanced.
• Continuous implementation of the governance model to ensure that women are shortlisted and considered for leadership positions.

These initiatives are aimed at addressing the identified material potential negative impact related to the lack of diversity and apply across all Group companies.
