TOWARDS A
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND PARTNERSHIPS
A key aspect of our journey for sustainable growth is to actively spread
knowledge and raise awareness about sustainable consumption and
sustainability aspects in the production of textiles and other goods.
In this way, the Group can contribute to global goals for sustainable
development while ensuring a good dialogue with customers and other
stakeholders.
LECTURES AND SEMINARS
During the year, we have organized several lectures and
seminars internally as well as for customers and distributors.
In spring 2018 we organized an appreciated seminar series,
“CSR Tuesdays with New Wave Group”, for both resellers
and employees. During five Tuesdays we held seminars with
invited experts on the following themes: Introduction to
REACH, chemicals in plastic materials, Eco-labelling for
textiles and Fairtrade cotton, Smart transportation for a
sustainable climate and Social responsibility in production.
PARTNERSHIPS AND NETWORKS
ONLINE TRAINING
During 2017 we introduced online training for New Wave
Group employees in order to raise awareness and knowledge
around CSR and sustainability. During 2018 we have continued
our efforts and the majority of the employees withing the Group
have completed the training.
Many issues and challenges require cooperation at a higher level than with individual companies.
There are many ways to make difference together and learn from each other. Therefore, an
important mission for our Sustainability-team is to participate in different industry networks
and round table discussions to share information and discuss structural problems and solutions.
For example, we regularly participate in the amfori BSCI National Group, the Swedish Chemicals
Group and Mistra Future Fashion. In addition to below initiatives, we also participate in the
Buyers Forum in Bangladesh (organized by World Bank Group IFC-SEDF), CSR Forum in
Shanghai and CCR CSR’s (Save the Children’s Sustainability Center in China) Virtual Youth
Development Working Group.
