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.

Customer and end user-related IROs: We have identified one actual positive impact related to helping people with hearing loss. This is an 'entity-specific' impact, as it is not covered in any specific disclosure requirement in ESRS S4. This positive impact in 2024 led to an estimated 11.2 million people with hearing loss benefiting from our products. The impact is a consequence of our core activity of manufacturing hearing aids with the impact taking place downstream at the users of our products. Our strategy seeks to increase this impact by helping more people with hearing loss through customer-centric innovation, partnerships, and operational and commercial effectiveness.
