We work systematically with ESG, focusing on making decisions based on informed and documented foundations. We continuously strive to improve our knowledge of our suppliers, value chain, and materials.

All products are assessed holistically, where—based on available data and knowledge—we aim to select materials and production processes with reduced environmental impact whenever possible. At the same time, we work to identify and, where relevant, improve environmental and social conditions within our supply chain. This is done in collaboration with both direct suppliers and, where possible, their sub-suppliers.

This work is anchored across the organisation, including within design and sourcing functions, and is developed through ongoing dialogue with our suppliers.

We apply a systematic approach, where we investigate, measure, and compare relevant factors, set requirements, and follow up accordingly. Where possible, we seek to support this with verification through relevant methods.

We continuously work to improve our data foundation, transparency, and processes. We collaborate with industry organisations and external advisors to ensure compliance with applicable legislation and to stay informed about upcoming regulatory requirements.

THE ESG DEPARTMENT

Our ESG work is managed by a dedicated team that supports development internally within the organisation as well as in collaboration with customers and suppliers. We focus on knowledge sharing and capability building to strengthen the foundation for integrating ESG considerations into relevant business processes.

In addition, we participate in industry forums and networks with other companies, where we exchange experiences and knowledge on ESG-related challenges and approaches.
