All investigations are managed internally by GN employees and the hotline can be used to report concerns and experienced or perceived misconduct. This is an important tool for ensuring that we can identify cases and implement appropriate remedies where workers in the value chain may be harmed or impacted by our actions and negative impacts. All complaints are treated with the required confidentiality, ensuring that value chain workers are aware of and trust these processes to raise their concerns and have them addressed. GN is also committed to dealing with any employee who takes action and/or participates in an investigation in a fair and respectful manner. This is emphasized in GN’s non-retaliation policy to protect individuals against retaliation when raising concerns.
