Safety
Our ultimate goal is that anyone who works for GE Vernova or does work on our behalf goes home safely at the end of their work day. Our expectations to maintain a safe, healthy work environment extend well beyond our own operations to all places where we work - customer sites, field services, and at our project installation and construction locations.
People are fundamental to our success. The ideas, energy, and commitment of approximately 75,000 people who work for GE Vernova are the driving forces behind the change we’re creating. It is essential that we create a thriving community for our people by working to ensure the safety of our teams throughout the world, embracing diversity, leading with integrity, and respecting human rights. Beyond our own employees, those working for our suppliers and living in the communities in which we operate are integral to our thriving community. Our strong supply chain governance programs help to advance positive change for people supporting our efforts, no matter their background or location.
GE Vernova remains committed to a pathway of continuously improving our impacts on our people, communities, and planet. This means advancing safe, responsible, and equitable working conditions in our operations and across our value chain. We believe that diversity, ethics, and integrity are essential to powering tomorrow.

Fatality-free operations
At GE Vernova, there is nothing more important than the safety of all who work for us. Safeguarding all people involved in our operations is a value interwoven in everything we do.
Demonstrate progress on global gender representation and locally underrepresented populations
We believe diversity makes us more competitive and creates value for our stakeholders. As we strive to live the GE Vernova Way, we are focused on creating a more respectful, inclusive culture where we can each contribute to meaningful work. Our relationship with each and every employee, regardless of functional discipline, geography, or representation status, is a priority.
Embed and Implement Ethical Decision-Making Principles into Business Decisions
Transitioning the strong ethical and compliance culture of GE to GE Vernova goes beyond the Spirit and the Letter, our code of conduct, but also requires giving our employees the tools and principles to drive ethical decision-making practices at GE Vernova.
Partner with suppliers to promote and uphold human rights in our value chain
We conduct an integrated risk assessment, which includes human rights, for both upstream and downstream due diligence processes.
Trained auditors visit the supplier’s facility, use a standardized questionnaire, and review guidelines to assess the supplier’s compliance with local laws and our policies on EHS, labor, security and human rights. An Supplier Responsibility Governance (SRG) audit is performed before a direct material supplier’s first engagement with GE Vernova and, thereafter, monitoring audits occur every one to five years based upon the supplier’s risk profile.
