Question Id: S2-1_10
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 has implemented several initiatives aimed at delivering positive impacts for value chain workers. These include managing IROs on working conditions and equal treatment through 46 supplier audits across China and Southeast Asia in 2024. Major findings related to occupational health and safety, excessive overtime hours, overuse of dispatched workers, and inadequate parental leave have been resolved or are subject to mandatory corrective action. GN uses the FRDM platform to monitor suppliers who pose a high risk of forced or child labor violations. The EcoVadis supply chain data platform has been implemented to onboard suppliers and request data on social indicators, allowing GN to gain insights connected to policy commitments. These actions are assessed for effectiveness by tracking progress and ensuring compliance with policy objectives.
