In order to realize our sustainability strategy and vision to maximize our contribution to globally agreed goals for sustainable development , we have defined strategies , policies and goals . Here are our most important sustainability goals .

CLIMATE IMPACT AND EMISSIONS The largest share of our emissions comes from scope 3 , i . e . all indirect emissions from , for example , purchased materials , production , transportation and other activities that we do not control . When it comes to textile production , research from Mistra Future Fashion shows that 80 % of the climate impact from Swedish clothing consumption comes from the production phase . By doubling the active lifespan of a garment , the climate impact can be almost halved . Producing garments with solar energy results in a total reduction in climate impact of 67 %. Adding a consumer who bikes or walks to the store instead of driving reduces the total impact by 78 %. Thus , it is clear what we must prioritize to reduce our total climate impact : Creating high-quality products that enable long lifespan , working with our partners on energy efficiency and transition to renewable energy , and spreading knowledge and facilitating sustainable consumption

We have partially mapped our emissions according to the GHG Protocol for scopes 1 and 2 , i . e . direct and indirect emissions from purchased electricity , steam , heat , and cooling ( see page 35 ) as well as for long-distance transportation in scope 3 ( see below ). We currently work with mapping all scopes , but due to challenges with access to quality data in a global value chain , uncertainty around calculation methods , and aggregation of data at the group level , the mapping is not yet complete . The goal is to be able to present a mapping of total emissions and concrete emission goals in connection with next year ' s reporting .

EMISSIONS FROM LONG-DISTANCE TRANSPORTATION Transportation and logistics are key activities for New Wave Group and a prioritized area ( read more on page 28 ). As air freight generates the most emissions , we have a zero vision for this freight option . For transport between Asia and North America , only weight data is reported as the companies use different carriers , which means that detailed methods and calculations differ between companies ' reporting , making it not comparable .
