ABOUT THE
REPORT
This is the New Wave Group Sustainability Report that
summarizes the work with sustainability within the Group
during the fiscal year 2018. The report has been developed by
the Sustainability Department of New Wave Group. The Board
of Directors and the Group Management have been involved in
the process. Data collection and compilation has been made on
Group level while the CEO of each subsidiary has been respon-
sible for reporting. Reported data and key figures are based on
2018 activities, unless otherwise stated. As in previous year,
we have chosen to report with support from GRI Standards,
Global Reporting Initiative’s latest guidelines. Still a lot of work
and data collection remain in order to be able to fully report
according to GRI’s principles. The ambition is to continuously
improve and develop both our work with sustainability and
reporting.

The expectations of the stakeholders in combination with
the knowledge of our employees are guidelines for how
we work with sustainability. By being responsive to the
expectations, we can continue to develop in the desired
direction. The materiality analysis includes, among other
things, the result of surveys filled in by three of our key
stakeholders: shareholders, customers and employees.
We have also taken into consideration the sustainability
questions most important for New Wave Group in terms
of business strategy and competitiveness. A key question
for our stakeholders is New Wave Group’s efforts to
create sustainable products where quality, design and
compliance with regulations, as well as good environ-
mental performance and social conditions throughout
the supply chain are taken into account.
