GRI 3-3, 308-1, 308-2, 414-1 & 414-2 Management approach for 308-1, 308-2, 414-1 & 414-2 THE CHALLENGE 3.4 SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT The activities along our supply chain influence various aspects of sustainability. These cover environmental as well as social issues. Additionally, the materials we receive from our suppliers can significantly influence the quality of our products. Our challenge lies in using the influence we have to ensure human rights are respected in all of our direct and indirect business relationships. OUR PROGRESS Starting from the year 2024 onwards we have requested all our suppliers on the Amfori Platform to switch from SA 8000 and ISO 14001 certifications to Amfori BEPI and BSCI. We believe that these certifications allow for a better understanding of our suppliers and where their central challenges and risks in the environmental and social sphere lie. In 2023/24 we assessed 73 suppliers for environmental impacts, that is an increase of 33% compared to the past year. Additionally, we assessed 91 suppliers for social impacts, of which 2 actual or potential negative impacts were identified. Where these impacts were determined, measures were put in place to improve conditions immediately. At the time of writing, both suppliers had already passed the re-audit. OUR GOALS “We want human rights to be protected and environmental standards to be respected in our global supply chain. Therefore, we strive for comprehensive transparency in these supply chains, and assess and monitor fair working conditions, human rights and environmental standards when our products are produced. To this end, we use the European framework on due diligence.“ GOAL TIMEFRAME 95 % of the suppliers on amfori with high or medium risk classification have an Amfori BSCI or SA 8000 certificate by the end of 2024 Short-term 95% of suppliers in the amfori platform have a BSCI & BEPI certificate audit or equivalent by the end of the financial year 2024/25 Short-term Gain a better understanding of our supply chain (n-tier suppliers) Continuously a.
