NWG // SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Gross scopes 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions We have conducted a mapping of emissions according to the GHG Protocol using Worldfavor ' s emissions calculator. The mapping provides us with an understanding of our emissions, but the availability of qualitative data, regarding calculation methods and reporting are significant challenges, which is why the presented figures include estimates.

Mapping of emissions according to the GHG
Protocol has been done by the respective subsidiary using Worldfavor’ s emission calculator.*
* Emission factors in the tool have been collected from open source databases, mainly from DEFRA. ** Adjusted for purchases from other NWG companies during consolidation to avoid double reporting from intra-group transactions.
Pollution Material impacts, risks and opportunities For New Wave Group, air pollution is a material impact, primarily linked to upstream production of textiles and other products through the combustion of fossil fuels. This is addressed under the Climate Change section on pages 68-73.
Further, substances of concern and very high concern are material impacts due to chemical usage in the production chains for textiles and other products. Examples of such substances include fertilizers and pesticides used in cotton cultivation, dyes for fabric coloring, and other chemicals applied in production processes to achieve desired properties and performance. Depending on their properties and potential toxicity, these substances can result in emissions to water and soil, affecting living organisms both upstream and downstream.
Upstream production and dowsnstream use of products also carries the risk of microplastic emissions, primarily due to production waste and washing of synthetic fiber clothing. However, this does not fall within the scope of being intentional additives.
In Sweden, Orrefors Kosta Boda AB produces glass products, and Glasma AB manufactures glass pellets for glass production. This entails risks of spreading metal contaminants to the surrounding environment. However, studies indicate that the majority of existing metal contamination and its potential negative effects are due to historical production rather than current industry practices.
