We uphold the highest standards of occupational safety, striving for zero accidents, and continuously improving our processes and performance. At the same time, we strengthen employee engagement and satisfaction to position GF as a company that is widely recommended as a great place to work.
Diversity and inclusion
At GF, we foster diversity and inclusion at every stage of the employee journey, from attracting and hiring talent to development, advancement, and long-term retention. Our approach combines purposeful employer branding, structured development programs, unconscious bias training, and strong internal and external networks to create equal opportunities and cultivate inclusive leadership.
Initiatives such as our Women in Leadership program, along with our membership in Advance, a leading Swiss association for gender equality, reflect our clear commitment to diversity.
Employee engagement
GF cultivates engagement rooted in trust, transparency, and a shared purpose. Through open dialogue, regular employee surveys, and continuous feedback, we empower our people to actively shape their work environment and drive the company’s progress. Clear leadership principles and diverse development opportunities strengthen accountability and long-term commitment.
Health and safety
At our company, the health and safety of our employees always come first. We embed a zero-harm mindset into our daily operations, guided by clear standards, responsible leadership, and regular training on the safe use of equipment and machinery.
Through thorough risk assessments and continuous improvement efforts with preventive measures, we work proactively to eliminate hazards before incidents occur. Regular internal and external audits further strengthen our safety management systems, ensuring compliance, transparency, and consistent performance across all locations.
Human rights
Aligned with international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and relevant national regulations, we integrate human rights considerations into our governance framework, policies, and risk management processes.
Our approach is grounded in systematic due diligence, with a particular focus on our global supply chain. We identify and address potential human rights and modern slavery risks, implement preventive and corrective measures, and promote responsible business conduct throughout our operations and partnerships. All GF entities covered by national reporting obligations contribute to this joint report, ensuring compliance and a unified approach across the organization.
