As part of GN’s ongoing due diligence processes, we engage with value chain workers via credible proxies regarding our material impacts that are likely to affect them. All tier 1 contract manufacturers are audited every year, whereas tier 2 suppliers are audited every second year. These audits are based on the UN Global Compact principles of responsible business and the SA8000 standard, which address our material human rights impacts and risks.
During audits, we engage with management functions, such as human resources or operations, by random selection for interviews to gain insights into any work-related issues, hiring practices, and other relevant topics, particularly considering vulnerable or marginalized workers, such as minorities, persons with disabilities, and migrant workers. Following the interview, an assessment is performed to ensure working hours, treatment by superiors, safety, and salary are compliant with our standards and local legislations. Where major audit findings are evident, GN requires these to be addressed through corrective actions. Engagement during supplier audits in our upstream value chain informs our business decisions and ongoing collaboration with suppliers. We also ensure that any major findings from our engagement with value chain workers are incorporated into relevant improvement requirements for our suppliers, as well as to ensure that they comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
