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.

- Does the undertaking disclose the process for setting targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities, specifically in relation to value chain workers? Furthermore, does the undertaking provide information on whether and how it engages directly with workers in the value chain, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies with insight into their situation? Additionally, considering material negative impacts affecting value chain workers that may be linked to entities or operations outside the undertaking's direct control, does the undertaking disclose whether and how it seeks to use leverage in its business relationships to manage these impacts? This may involve the use of commercial leverage, such as enforcing contractual requirements or implementing incentives, other forms of leverage within the relationship, such as providing training or capacity-building on workers’ rights, or collaborative leverage with peers or other actors, such as initiatives aimed at responsible recruitment or ensuring workers receive an adequate wage.
