Question Id: S2-1_07
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.

GN tracks the effectiveness of their actions by reviewing material findings from due diligence processes and engaging with affected stakeholders and suppliers to mitigate impacts. They conduct supplier audits and site visits, particularly with tier 1 and 2 suppliers, to identify any related negative impacts on value chain workers. The FRDM platform is used to monitor suppliers who pose a high risk of forced or child labor violations, requiring comprehensive assessments and documentary evidence to substantiate the absence of abuses. GN also uses the EcoVadis supply chain data platform to gain insights into policy commitments and track progress in strengthening human rights due diligence processes.
