Forging an ethical, fair and safe supply chain

Our supply chain stretches across the globe. And so does our responsibility to protect human rights. We follow the UN Principles of Responsible Business, strengthened by our commitment to the leading industry supply chain responsibility standards set out by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA).

As an Affiliate Member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) for our GN Audio A/S business division, GN fully supports the vision and goals of the RBA:

Vision: A coalition of companies driving sustainable value for workers, the environment and business throughout the global supply chain.

Mission: Members, suppliers and stakeholders collaborate to improve working and environmental conditions and business performance through leading standards and practices. We commit to progressively align its own operations with the provisions of the RBA Code of Conduct and to support and encourage its own first-tier suppliers to do the same. Wherever possible, we will seek to adopt the RBA approach and tools in practical ways in the spirit of the industry’s common goals.

Audits for all key suppliers

As part of our safeguarding and human rights due diligence, we audit all of our suppliers, across the following areas, based on the SA8000 standard.

CSR/Sustainability policies

Labor rights and conditions, including child and forced labor

Occupational health and safety

Business ethics

Environmental performance

During an audit, workers are randomly selected for an interview and an assessment to ensure their working hours, treatment by superiors, safety and salary are compliant with our standards and the local law. We require major audit findings to be addressed through corrective action.

Precious minerals, without a human price tag

Tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold are found in many of our products. But there’s a risk each of these elements could be a “conflict mineral” if they come from mines controlled by military groups.

We stand firmly against all forms of exploitation, and we expect our suppliers to as well. That’s why our suppliers must clearly demonstrate they exclude conflict minerals.

We follow the five-step due diligence guidance laid out by OECD* to enforce a strict audit program across every part of our value chain. That’s how we make sure our products aren’t built using exploited labor.

*The five-step due diligence guidance is described in “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas”

To strengthen supply chain due diligence, we are currently onboarding onto the EcoVadis platform as a requesting company, enabling us to track full ESG performance of our suppliers and request improvements if necessary.
