NWG // SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The Group requires that waste generated in its own operations be managed within national recycling systems, which govern both handling practices and the type of waste treatment. At present, however, there is no Group-wide strategy for waste minimization or a consolidated strategy for managing textile waste across the value chain.
Waste 2025 The total amount of waste( ton) 2,550
Type of waste Hazardous waste( ton) 251 Non-hazardous waste( ton) 2,299 Radioactive waste( ton) 0
Calculation methodology waste The data are based on information on weight, waste type and treatment method, and constitute the same activity‐based data used for calculating emissions under Scope 3, Category 5. The information has primarily been collected from waste management partners where such data has been available and complemented with estimates in other cases.
To reduce the reporting of immaterial waste amounts, for example from office operations, a threshold of 0.5 tons per subsidiary per year was applied. This waste volume is assessed to have negligible impact, see further information under Calculation method for greenhouse gas emissions, Scope 3, Category 5 on page 66.
