Getinge 2022 Annual Report

Getinge 2022 Annual Report Introduction Strategy Corporate Governance Annual Report Sustainability Report Other information Contents The Data Privacy Policy and local regulations contribute to maintain confidentiality of personal health-related information and protect against any inappropriate use. Due to regional variances, Getinge doesn't currently collect data on occupational health services at global level. GRI 403-4: Worker participation, consultation, and communication on occupational health and safety Getinge's Code of Conduct specifies that all employees are respon- sible to take care of themselves and each other. Everyone should think before acting to secure a safer and healthier workplace. A Speak-Up Line is available to raise any concerns without fear of retaliation. This year, Getinge pursued the implementation of flexible and remote working for office-based employees. A flexible workplace enables eligible employees to have a better work-life balance. To support, Getinge has provided training, toolboxes and commu- nication materials, on how to manage when working remotely, including how to ensure good ergonomics. The annual global survey related to employee engagement introduced questions on work-life balance, social, environmental responsibility and care as a person. The results show high score just above or under the benchmark. A global sustainability materiality survey was sent to a defined number of employees in 2022. The result confirmed Occupational Health & Safety is part of the top 3 most important topics among employees. Employee consultation forums (e.g. safety committees) are in place at local level according to legal requirement. Regular infor- mation is shared with employees on the internal communication platform GetNet. Due to regional variances, Getinge currently doesn't collect data on occupational health and safety jointed manager-worker committees at global level. GRI 403-5: Worker training on occupational health and safety Getinge's Global Occupational Health and Safety Directive specifies that awareness and competence are appropriate to perform the work safely and in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and legal entity expectation. Getinge's Global Occupational Health & Safety training management procedure describes onboarding expectations and defines training requirements. It aims to ensure necessary competences for each role for performing activities related to significant occupational health and safety hazards. Getinge trains employees on occupational health and safety through several channels including: • • • Getinge's Learning Management System (GetLearning) provides permanent access to our employees for occupational health and safety capability and awareness content. Some of these trainings are mandated and assigned to workers and are based on the requirements of their role This year, two new global safety trainings were assigned to all legal entity Occupational Health & Safety leaders: - Hazard and Risk assessment - Safety method statement Face-to-face occupational health and safety training such as electrical safety training or explosive atmospheres training is delivered by internal and external trainers; some other subject- matter-expert training has been delivered through video conferencing GRI 403-6: Promotion of worker health In the UK there is a local initiative called Better Health at Work Award. The program aims to promote healthy lifestyles and consid- er the health of their employees. The award scheme is supported by a dedicated Health Improvement Specialist. The program aims to improve the health and well-being of employees and at the same time it supports the employer with improved engagement, lower absence from work and improved productivity. By participating in this initiative, Getinge has strengthened its already established "People plan" which enables a good working environment, well- being and health. Due to regional variances, Getinge currently doesn't collect data on non-occupational medical and healthcare services at global level. GRI 403-7: Prevention and mitigation of occupational health and safety impacts directly linked by business relationships Getinge's Business Partner Code of Conduct applies to suppliers for providing and maintaining a safe working environment. Getinge expects suppliers to implement measures of preventing or mitigating significant negative occupational health and safety impacts in case those are directly linked to Getinge operations. GRI 403-8: Workers covered by an occupational health and safety management system All Getinge employees and consultants must comply with the mandatory requirements of Getinge's Global Policies, as well as adhering to local occupational health and safety standards. All Getinge employees and consultants are covered by the occupational health and safety management system. GRI 403-9: Work-related injuries Any occupational injury that requires medical treatment more than simple first aid and occurs within the site perimeter, or while on business travel to an employee and to a contractor normaly based at that site is a recordable incident. Any medical treatment that goes beyond first aid includes: Fatality • • • • • • • Loss of consciousness Restricted work (The employee works less than a full shift, employee does not perform normally scheduled work on the team or there is a medical transfer to another job after diagnosis).
