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 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.
