S1-14: Health and safety metrics
Extent of the health and safety management system
Own workforce covered by the undertakings health and safety management system(%)
The entire own workforce( head count) within New Wave Group is considered to be covered by health and safety management systems and procedures based on compliance with local and national occupational health and safety legislation in the countries where the Group operates. This means that occupational health and safety work, risk assessments, and preventive measures are carried out at the local level in accordance with applicable legal requirements and are adapted to the nature of the operations, such as office environments, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
The monitoring of health and safety practices is conducted through local risk assessments, incident reporting, and internal controls, with responsibility for implementation and follow up delegated to the management of each subsidiary. The coverage of health and safety systems is therefore assessed to include the entire own workforce, even though the structure and extent of these systems may vary between subsidiaries and regions.

S1-16: Remuneration metrics( pay gap and total remuneration) The gender pay gap amounts to 13.5 %. Reporting at Group level is based on an average of the values reported and calculated at subsidiary level, using the following formula:( Average gross hourly pay for male employees – Average gross hourly pay for female employees) / Average gross hourly pay for male employees × 100. The calculation includes base salary only; variable compensation is not included.
The annual total compensation ratio amounts to 3.9. Reporting at Group level is similarly based on an average of the values reported and calculated at subsidiary level, using the following formula: Highest paid individual in the company( base salary plus variable compensation) / Median salary of all other employees( excluding the highest paid individual).
S1-17: – Incidents, complaints and severe human rights impacts

Number of fatalities from work-related injuries 0 Number of work-related accidents 55 Rate of recordable work-related accidents * 10.7
Number of fatalities caused by work-related injuries and work-related ill health
* Calculated as the number of work related injuries divided by the total number of hours worked by the own workforce, multiplied by 1,000,000.
The number of work related injuries refers to accidents defined as unplanned or undesired events arising from or occurring in connection with work, which may lead to, or have led to, injury or illness. The reporting includes accidents that have resulted in any form of follow up action, such as medical consultations following personal injury. The Group does not distinguish between recordable work related injuries and other types of work related injuries. The majority of reported accidents have occurred in warehouse operations.
For the calculation of the injury frequency rate, the Group currently lacks complete information on the total number of hours worked and on the duration of absence resulting from injuries. All reported work related injuries have therefore been included in the calculation, which may affect comparability. Estimated hours worked per full time equivalent have been calculated based on 40 hours per week, adjusted for paid leave and public holidays, corresponding to approximately 1,800 hours per year per full time employee.
0
All identified discrimination related incidents during the reporting period are disclosed, even if they have not resulted in any action. No further action is required from the Group for the reported incident.
During the year, three reports were submitted through New Wave Group’ s anonymous whistleblower portal. Two of these were deemed challenging to investigate due to a lack of specificity. No additional information was provided upon request( via the anonymous portal), and the cases were therefore closed due to insufficient documentation. One case is currently in the initial stage of investigation.
More information on the process for handling complaints can be found under S1-3: Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns.
The information has been compiled based on input from the Group’ s Legal Department, which is responsible for the whistleblower portal, as well as data submitted through the subsidiaries’ sustainability reporting
