NWG // SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
S1-5: Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities Due to New Wave Group’ s decentralized strategy and organizational structure, no Group wide specific targets have been established for managing impacts, risks, and opportunities related to the own workforce. The Group does not intend to introduce such Group wide targets but instead prioritizes allowing each subsidiary to independently manage these matters.
Apart from insights gained through the annual sustainability reporting process, which are used to provide central support to subsidiaries through the sharing of best practices, there is currently no formalized process for assessing the effectiveness of policies and measures related to identified material impacts and risks concerning the own workforce.

The financial reporting presents the average number of employees expressed as full time equivalents( FTEs) for the reporting year. See Note 5 under financial information on page 112. In this disclosure, the number of employees is reported as headcount, in accordance with the requirements of the standard, and represents the average number of employees( regardless of working hours) during the year. The average number of employees in 2025 is calculated as the sum of the number of employees at the beginning and at the end of the year, divided by two. The data is based on figures reported by the subsidiaries and has been reconciled with the information presented in the financial reporting.
During the reporting year, the employee turnover rate was 10.7 %. Reporting at Group level is based on an average of the values reported and calculated at subsidiary level, using the following formula: Number of employees who left in 2025 divided by the average number of employees in 2025.
