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.

Finally, we have identified one material negative, potential impact related to other work-related rights, covering child labor and forced labor, where we assess the potentially impacted workers to be either children working in non-certified mineral mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries or bonded workers in regions with systemic forced labor. This potential impact also leads to a material potential financial risk, as non-compliance with forced labor legislation could potentially prohibit us from selling goods in certain markets, leading to a significant revenue loss.
