GN is committed to ensuring that human rights are safeguarded and that we manage our material sustainability matters related to value chain workers. Our human rights policy commitments cover all value chain workers across all geographies in which we operate to enable identification, assessment, and management, or remediation of our material IROs. GN is committed to the UN’s principles of responsible business, having been a signatory of the UN Global Compact since 2010. Over the last reporting period, we have observed no cases of non-respect to these principles involving value chain workers in our upstream or downstream value chain. To address our human rights policy commitments, GN has introduced a number of initiatives and due diligence processes to ensure we are able to engage with value chain workers or their proxies and representatives to take measures enabling remedy of our negative impacts. Furthermore, we strive to set policy commitments that inform GN’s overall strategy and work in this area, ensuring we take into account the interests, views, and rights of workers in the value chain.

The targets have been set directly relating to value chain workers, such as aiming to reduce negative or advancing positive impacts, or to manage our material risks and opportunities. We have defined a process for setting targets relating to human rights due diligence, but we have not engaged directly with value chain workers, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies, in setting them, nor in tracking the performance, or in identifying lessons or improvement as a result of our performance. Moving into 2025, we also plan to undertake a comprehensive review of these policy areas to understand any applicable targets that can be set in relation to workers in the value chain. GN’s overall ambition in this sphere reflects our drive to strengthen our due diligence processes and efforts in tracking effectiveness to monitor our progress connected to impacts on value chain workers.
