our priorities

GE respects our people, our planet and our communities

General Electric

As a global company that serves customers in ~170 countries, we are mindful of the impact our actions have on the world—whether it be the people who make up our global workforce or those of our suppliers, the communities where we live and work, or the planet itself.

Leading with Safety

Our ultimate responsibility in every business, at every site is to make sure that anyone who works for GE or does work on our behalf goes home safely at the end of the day.

Environmental Stewardship and Climate Change

Climate change is an urgent global priority. As a company whose technology helps generate approximately 30% of the world’s electricity, we are committed to decarbonizing the energy sector while increasing access to more sustainable, reliable and affordable electricity, including for the nearly 775 million people who lack access.

Human Rights

People are at the heart of GE’s operations and strategy. We recently released our GE Human Rights Report to provide greater transparency into how we run our human rights program, from our suite of governance documents to our due diligence program. This report details our program with respect to our own workers, those of our suppliers and the communities affected by GE operations and business relationships.

Ethical Supply Chain and Responsible Mineral Sourcing

GE is committed to unyielding integrity and high standards of business conduct in our dealings with suppliers. Since 2002, GE has implemented an extensive supplier responsibility governance (SRG) program to build and strengthen an ethical, sustainable and transparent global supply chain and establish clear social and environmental responsibility requirements for suppliers.
