GN's approach to identifying necessary and appropriate actions in response to material negative impacts involves engagement initiatives with suppliers based on material negative impacts relating to working conditions and equal treatment of value chain workers. They conduct audits and site visits with tier 1 and 2 suppliers, focusing on child labor and forced labor. GN believes their processes enable them to identify related negative impacts and have dedicated resources to understand which actions are needed. Effectiveness is tracked by reviewing material findings from due diligence processes and engaging with stakeholders and suppliers to mitigate impacts.
