GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION NNew Wave Group shall participate in fighting for reduced climate impact and seize every opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our business operations . The largest share of our emissions comes from scope 3 , namely the indirect emissions that occur , for example , in the production phase . Currently , we are working with evaluating tools and methods to be able to map and collect data for the Group ’ s total emissions . Several of the New Wave Group companies have also begun to make emission calculations at product level . In addition to uncertainty about calculation methods , it is challenging to access qualitative data in a global supply chain where we don ’ t have direct impact in all processing units . The goal is to have an initial overview of the total emission in place during 2022-2023 and thereafter set science-based targets in accordance with the Paris Agreement .
What we have already reported for several years is the emissions generated by the Group ’ s long-distance transports between Asia and Europe . As transport and logistics are part of our core operations , this is a priority area ( read more on page 24 ). Since air freight has the highest emissions of greenhouse gases , we have a zero vision for this transportation mode .
Since 2019 we also report weight data for long-distance transport between Asia and North America . However , emissions data are not reported as the subsidiaries use different carriers , which implies that detailed accounting methods differ between the subsidiaries ’ reporting and is thus not comparable .
In 2020 , total weights and emissions are significantly affected by the corona pandemic . The pandemic has created major disruptions in global trade , which has led to higher process and delayed deliveries , why the reported numbers during 2020 and 2021 might be difficult to compare with previous years .
