GN has implemented several policies for managing material impacts related to its own workforce. As a member of the UN Global Compact since 2010, GN is committed to safeguarding human rights and labor rights principles in its own workforce. Accordingly, GN operations and business activities are guided by the UN guiding principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. GN upholds human rights principles through the implementation of policies and procedures which prevent discrimination, harassment, advances diversity, and ensure fair and equal treatment of its workforce.

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.
