Goal 1
Fatality-free operations is our ultimate safety ambition and at the heart of our safety strategy, programs, and management system. Our focus on preventing fatalities and severe safety events is the primary consideration in all our efforts – there is nothing more important than the safety of all who work for and with us.
OUR 2025 PROGRESS
In 2025, regrettably four people doing work on our behalf lost their lives. We have more work to do, and we do not take these tragic fatalities lightly. We continue to work hard every day to build a culture where we focus on STARTING WORK safely and STOPPING WORK when it is not. In our sustainability report, we describe how in 2025 we shifted our focus to operationalizing our Life Saving Rules at the point of impact with our manufacturing, projects, and services teams. Many sites embedded the Life Saving Rules into daily work, creating process maps that highlight the applicability of the Life Saving Rules to the highest-risk operations, Life Saving Rules passports, validation checks, and site champions.
We also updated our Contractor Management standard and redesigned our Risk Management program. As part of this initiative, we developed a Safe Work Assessment Tool intended to focus on ensuring all controls are in place at the point of work prior to beginning the job.
Goal 2
Transforming the world’s electricity system on a global scale requires a unique and inclusive organizational culture. Inclusion is a cornerstone of the Company we are building with incredible talent that can bring diverse experiences and perspectives that lead to better outcomes, performance, and innovation.
The GE Vernova Way forges our path and culture, and creates competitive value for our stakeholders.
One Team is a central foundation of our GE Vernova Way. It means ensuring every employee feels safe, valued, respected, and able to be their full self at work.
Goal 3
Integrity is the foundation of our culture and our Ethics and Compliance program. We have embedded ethical decision-making into our daily operations, launching a new governance framework, operating model, and a reimagined Code of Conduct including an ethical decision-making framework.
Our 2025 Progress
The global launch of our new Code of Conduct marked a significant milestone with a shift to a values-based foundation, providing our workforce with a compass rather than a checklist.
In 2025, 98% of salaried employees completed ethics and compliance training. Also in 2025, 992 concerns were raised through our Open Reporting grievance mechanisms, 963 of which were closed in the same year. We carefully examine every integrity concern raised, and take necessary remedial actions where appropriate.
Goal 4
As a global company with a vast reach and extensive value chain, it is important we treat our employees, workers, customers, suppliers, and communities with fairness and dignity. We prioritize human rights by setting the ambition to advance safe, responsible, and inclusive working conditions in our operations and across our value chain.
OUR 2025 PROGRESS
In 2025, we published an updated Supplier Code of Conduct, developed internal human rights training, introduced new enterprise standards for human rights due diligence at project sites, and piloted the use of AI to improve supplier traceability in relation to human rights risks.
We also continued to conduct integrated human rights risk assessments across both our supply chain and customer-facing operations, and published our first Conflict Minerals Report as a stand-alone entity.
The GE Vernova Foundation puts our purpose – The Energy of Change – into practice across the communities where our employees live and work, with a focus on tackling some of the world’s toughest challenges. The Foundation invests where we believe progress is not only possible, but inevitable when we work together:
The four pillars of our sustainability framework work together to help create a more equitable, thriving planet for everyone.
Catalyze access to more secure, sustainable, reliable, and affordable electricity, while helping to drive global economic development
Invent, deploy, and service the technology to decarbonize and electrify the world
Innovate more while using less, safeguarding natural resources
