CSR and Sustainability t h
New Wave Group believes in sustainable growth . Our business is defined by long-term approach and it is important for us to adapt business solutions that are financially profitable , but also sustainable from a social and environmental perspective .
The objectives are to maximize our contribution to globally agreed goals for sustainable development , create long-term value for the company and at the same time take stakeholders ’ expectations into account . The work includes , amongst several things , to improve working conditions in the supply chain , cutting emissions of greenhouse gases and introducing organic and eco-friendly materials . Another important aspect is also 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 .
Risks are an inescapable part of New Wave Group ’ s business , and constant adjustments are required to meet the customers ’ growing demands for transparency and sustainability , as well as changes in legislation . Our ambition is to constantly be at the forefront and what makes the biggest difference is how we operate our daily business . Therefore , we have identified three focus areas which we believe are the most important in order for New Wave Group to integrate sustainability with our core business : sustainable products , sustainable production and sustainable distribution .

Highlights 2021
The past year was , like 2020 , obviously characterized by the pandemic . It is clearer than ever that constant and rapid change is required to adapt our operations to a changing world . Not least when it comes to sustainability-related issues .
Focus on sustainability questions and demand for products with sustainability attributes has continued to grow and our companies are showing that they are good at meeting their customers ’ expectations . As in 2020 , we witness a significant increase in the number of products with sustainability attributes . At the same time , we have get used to new ways of working where many physical meetings have been replaced by digital solutions , business trips have been reduced and the printed sales material has been minimized .
