- 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 detailing whether and how direct engagement with workers in the value chain, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies with insight into their situation, was conducted? Additionally, when disclosing the embedding of external-facing policies related to value chain workers, does the undertaking consider internal policies of responsible sourcing and alignment with other relevant policies, such as those addressing forced labour? Furthermore, does the summary of supplier codes of conduct indicate whether they include provisions addressing worker safety, precarious work, human trafficking, forced labour, or child labour, and confirm that these provisions are fully in line with applicable ILO standards?

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's internal functions involved in managing impacts include senior management and compliance functions, which oversee the implementation of policies with suppliers. They conduct supplier audits and site visits, particularly with tier 1 and 2 suppliers, to manage risks related to working conditions and equal treatment. GN uses the FRDM platform to monitor suppliers for forced or child labor risks and the EcoVadis platform to gain insights into policy commitments. These resources enable users to understand the management of impacts by providing comprehensive assessments and documentary evidence to substantiate the absence of abuses. Effectiveness is assessed by tracking progress and ensuring compliance with policy objectives.
