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.

Information about gender is recorded in GN’s HR management system, Workday, where we host our total global workforce and other employee master data. Employee headcount is disclosed as 'Not reported' when employees do not provide gender information during the onboarding process.
