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 ensures that processes to provide or enable remedy are available and effective by outlining expectations about grievance mechanisms in their Supplier Code of Conduct. Their due diligence approach seeks to ensure suppliers' processes relating to grievance are effective. GN cooperates with suppliers on human rights issues to improve their work with instituting effective remedies. The whistleblower hotline is available to all employees, external parties, and value chain workers, ensuring confidentiality and addressing concerns in a fair manner. GN is committed to dealing with any employee who takes action against retaliation when raising concerns.
