Responsibility Strategy

Companies must at a minimum distribute a Code of Conduct and chemical restrictions to their production units.

Companies must at a minimum map their supply chain up to Tier 1 and establish systems for recording additional Tiers.

There should, at a minimum, be a procurement policy with a focus on people and the environment in place, along with a defined audit program, and resources allocated for its follow-up.

At a minimum, a test program must be established and a design and material strategy developed.

It is a requirement that the employees of the companies annually score their job satisfaction with a minimum rating of 4 and respond to the legally mandated Workplace Assessment (APV) sent out every 3 years.

Each year, we calculate our CO2e emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 at our own locations, and we continuously work on identifying and implementing CO2e reduction opportunities.

Scope 3 emissions must also be measured, but it is quite complex. Therefore, we have divided it into the following parts, which we will focus on in 2026:

• Measure inbound transport emissions
• Measure outbound transport emissions
• Collect data from external suppliers on emissions
• Measure emissions from products

We sort waste at all locations but lack sorting for certain fractions and measuring the quantity of waste.

We are currently in the process of developing a comprehensive recruitment policy.

We want to communicate more about what we do and have a text on our website that we update on a quarterly basis.
In addition, we need to develop a communication strategy in this area.
We plan to publish an annual ESG report starting in 2026.
