A message from our CEO and our Founder & CCO

2024 was an important year for Westwing as we started our expansion journey, with Portugal as our first new market in May. Alongside this, we have continued to grow, learn, and adapt, evolving our sustainability goals and navigating both successes and challenges. Through it all, we remained focused on helping our customers Live Beautiful in a way that reflects that WE CARE for both people and the planet.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of our journey, but it is not a simple path. As we work to reduce emissions and adopt sustainable practices across our value chain, we are learning valuable lessons, particularly through the implementation of our Science-Based Targets (SBTs). Nonetheless, we have made meaningful progress in key areas: increasing the use of recycled materials in our packaging, improving supplier engagement to strengthen their social and environmental performance, and enhancing the durability and sourcing standards of our Westwing Collection. These efforts demonstrate our ability to move forward while aligning sustainability with innovation and delivering products that resonate with our customers' values.

At the same time, the regulatory landscape is changing rapidly, with growing expectations

for transparency and accountability on sustainability. The introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other emerging frameworks has set a clear direction for businesses like ours. These regulations not only guide how we measure and communicate our progress but also challenge us to integrate sustainability more deeply into our operations and decisionmaking. While this creates new complexities, it also provides an opportunity to align our growth with a broader vision of responsibility.

Our Westwing Collection continues to play a key role in advancing our sustainability efforts. By prioritising responsibly sourced materials, improving packaging, and focusing on durability and timeless design, we are raising standards across our product range. Significant progress with our suppliers has enhanced their social and environmental performance, increasing traceability and compliance with sustainability benchmarks. At the same time, we are strengthening collaborations with our Brand Partners to broaden the impact of these initiatives across our wider product assortment.

In 2024, we have also reflected on how growth and sustainability can work together. Expansion into new markets brings opportunities to reach

more customers, but it also challenges us to stay true to our values. That is why we are committed to growing responsibly, focusing on what we can control and engaging with partners to make progress where we have influence.

Our progress would not be possible without the dedication of our teams. Their expertise and commitment have been the driving force behind everything we have achieved. Together, we are embedding sustainability more deeply into our operations and products, aligning with the growing expectations of our customers, employees, and stakeholders.

Looking ahead, we aim to bring our vision of Live Beautiful to life in every way—through thoughtful design, a seamless customer experience, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability. By building on our strengths and working closely with our partners and teams, we are confident that we can continue to grow responsibly while exciting our customers to create homes that unlock the full beauty of life.

As a premium one-stop destination for Design Lovers, we want to inspire our customers with a carefully curated selection of products that reflect care for the planet and people. Together, we aim to create beautiful homes that demonstrate this commitment.

In line with this vision, our Sustainability Strategy is structured around three pillars— WE CARE for our Products, WE CARE for the Planet, and WE CARE for People. These pillars define our focus areas and set clear goals across all aspects of our business from employees and suppliers to products and customers. They provide the strategic foundation for our efforts, ensuring that we address the most material sustainability topics with a clear and structured approach.

The basis for our Strategy is the DMA, which helps us identify and prioritise

the most relevant impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs).

Materiality assessments are essential for identifying the most relevant sustainability topics, allowing companies to focus their efforts where they have the greatest impact. In 2024, we updated our 2021 materiality assessment in line with the CSRD, strengthening our approach and aligning with evolving regulatory requirements. The updated DMA evaluated both impact materiality—how our business affects people and the environment—and financial materiality—how sustainability-related risks and opportunities influence our financial performance.

As part of this process, we analysed our entire value chain, engaged with key stakeholders—including employees, suppliers, business partners, and investors and assessed sustainability topics through internal expertise and external benchmarking. The assessment incorporated structured scoring and ranking methodologies to evaluate IROs across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.

economy, resource use, working conditions, workers in the value chain, consumers and end-users, and business conduct as key areas shaping our sustainability strategy and reporting. While these topics remain consistent with those identified in 2021, they have been refined and expanded to reflect evolving priorities and deeper analysis.

The updated assessment reaffirmed the relevance of our three pillars—WE CARE for our Products, WE CARE for the Planet, and WE CARE for People—demonstrating that our Sustainability Strategy is built on material topics and regulatory expectations. It confirmed the continued materiality of climate change mitigation, energy, circular By building on previous assessments and stakeholder engagement efforts, we have ensured that our materiality approach remains robust and aligned with both business priorities and regulatory expectations. More details on our DMA can be found in the Sustainability Statement under the CSRD, which is part of our Annual Management Report.

2024 Highlights

The journey of our Westwing Collection products begins with the careful selection of materials. Wood and cotton represent the largest share of the materials we use and are central to our sustainability efforts. Plastics and metals are also part of our material mix, with a focus on increasing the use of recycled plastics. We also recognise the impact of animal byproducts, such as wool, leather, and down, and are committed to sourcing them responsibly.

The production of these materials represents a significant part of our environmental footprint. To address this, we prioritise materials that meet the criteria of credible external certification standards, ensuring adherence to social, environmental, and ethical requirements, particularly as production occurs far up in our supply chain and beyond our direct control.

Westwing Collection materials

Wood

94% of our wood comes from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certified sources and other controlled sources. FSC® promotes responsible forest management worldwide through standards that are supported by environmental, social, and economic stakeholders.

Cotton

Cotton production can have significant environmental and social impacts, including high water and chemical use and poor working conditions1 , while being highly vulnerable to climate change. We prioritise sourcing organic, recycled, or responsibly produced cotton, through leading initiatives like the Better Cotton and GOTS.

Certified responsibly sourced cotton

Animal by-products

We use animal by-products like wool, leather, and down, prioritising ethically sourced materials certified by standards such as the Leather Working Group, Downpass, and Responsible Wool Standard to ensure animal welfare.

Responsibly sourced animal by-products

Increasing recycled plastics in our products

Low emissions

Ensures a healthy indoor environment by limiting harmful emissions such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Responsible wood sourcing

Requires that all wood used in the product is sourced from sustainably managed forests, such as FSC® or PEFC-certified wood.

Restricted use of hazardous chemicals Prohibits or limits substances that could harm health or the environment.

Durability and repairability

Promotes long-lasting products with circular design principles, including durability and the availability of spare parts.

Receiving the Blue Angel certification

Our Sofia sofa range received the Blue Angel Certification making it our first product level sustainability certification. This ecolabel signifies that the product has a lower environmental and health impact throughout its lifecycle—spanning production, use, recycling, and disposal—compared to similar products without the Blue Angel certification. This achievement was the result of close collaboration with our supplier, where we worked together to understand the requirements and select the right materials to meet the certification's rigorous standards.

As part of our commitment to increasing the use of recycled plastics in our products, we developed an internal roadmap to guide this transition through 2027. We started by mapping the types of plastics used in our Westwing Collection and their applications. The primary plastics identified include foams and synthetic fabrics used in upholstery. Plastics are also commonly found in smaller components of our products, whereas their use in larger components is more limited. This mapping exercise helped us identify key areas and drivers for change.

Our analysis highlighted that recycled plastics are not yet widely available in our sector, as the market is still in its early stages of development. As a result, we are prioritising products such as upholstery fabrics where transitioning to recycled or alternative sustainable materials is most feasible, while continuing to work towards our broader goal of reducing virgin plastic use across our Westwing Collection. We remain committed to making progress and pursuing innovative solutions to achieve this transition.

What is included in the Blue Angel certification?

Traceability is about knowing where our raw materials come from, how they are sourced, and the conditions under which they are produced. It is essential for ensuring transparency and supporting responsible sourcing decisions.

This year, we achieved an important milestone with the implementation of a Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) tool. This tool allows us to analyse product features in detail and trace the source of every material and packaging component, transforming the way we monitor, manage and reduce our impacts.

Understanding the journey of our products is essential for improving material sourcing and packaging impacts. However, tracing the origin of materials and gathering detailed data about components has always been a significant challenge. The PLM tool allows us to address this challenge by enabling us to gain detailed insights into every product, including specifics such as dimensions, weight, material type, chemical composition, and supplier information. This deeper understanding improves traceability and transparency, empowering us to make more informed decisions.

2024 Highlights

Once crafted by our suppliers using carefully selected materials, our products are shipped to our logistics centre in Poland. Upon arrival, both Westwing Collection products and those from our brand partners are sorted and prepared for delivery to our customers. Packaging plays a crucial role in protecting the products during their journey to the logistics centre, at the logistics centre and onward to our customers.

For our Westwing Collection products, we collaborate closely with our suppliers to improve packaging practices and ensure that the materials used align with our quality and sustainability guidelines. For third-party brands, we share our packaging guidelines with our partners, while focusing primarily on optimising packaging processes once the products reach our logistics centre. Therefore, we monitor our packaging efforts in two main areas: packaging for the Westwing Collection and packaging used within and beyond our logistics centre.

Transforming the Westwing Collection packaging

Our Westwing Collection packaging guidelines set the standards and provide clear direction to suppliers on how to package and deliver products to our logistics centre. These guidelines include requirements even for the smallest packaging components and emphasise:

• eliminating Styrofoam and single-use plastic components1 ,
• prioritising recycled materials,
• and reducing overall packaging volume.

Although sustainable packaging solutions with the necessary quality, strength and durability are not always readily available for every packaging need, thanks to our dedicated efforts we have successfully achieved the majority of our packaging goals ahead of schedule. This transformation involved close collaboration with our suppliers and innovative thinking.

We successfully eliminated styrofoam and made significant progress in replacing singleuse plastic components such as fitting bags, ribbons, and tapes with paper alternatives.

Our efforts to eliminate single-use plastic components in packaging focus on items such as tapes, cable ties, fitting bags, and silica bags. These components are typically non-recyclable due to their mixed materials or low recycling value, often ending up in landfills. Transitioning to recyclable or reusable alternatives is a key step in reducing the environmental impact of our packaging.

What single-use plastic components

Finding alternatives to single-use plastics in packaging presents challenges, especially when no immediate solutions are available. Previously, plastic ribbons were used in Westwing Collection packaging to secure components like screws to the main product. By working closely with our suppliers, we devised an innovative and creative solution: repurposing paper shopping bag handles into durable ribbons, successfully eliminating the use of plastic.

Innovating with suppliers

1 It covers all single-use plastic components in packaging.

Redefining our logistics centre packaging

The journey of our Westwing Collection products begins with the careful selection of materials. Wood and cotton represent the largest share of the materials we use and are central to our sustainability efforts. Plastics and metals are also part of our material mix, with a focus on increasing the use of recycled plastics. We also acknowledge the importance of animal byproducts, such as wool, leather, and down, and are committed to sourcing them responsibly.

The production of these materials represents a significant part of our environmental footprint. To address this, we prioritise materials that meet the criteria of credible external certification standards, ensuring adherence to social, environmental, and ethical requirements, particularly as production occurs far up in our supply chain and beyond our direct control.

We successfully eliminated foams, removed transparent bags for smaller items, and phased out or substituted all single-use plastic components in our logistics centre packaging, except for tapes.

Eliminating foam and single-use plastic components

We eliminated pallets and stretch foil by adopting loose loading, a method that involves loading products directly into transport containers without additional outer packaging. This approach maximises space, reduces packaging material use, and minimises waste.

Introduction of loose loading

We have significantly reduced reliance on virgin plastics in our logistics centre packaging by ensuring that all foil bags and the stretch film used to wrap pallets has more than 60% recycled content, while maintaining the durability required for secure transportation.

Increasing recycled plastics

Cushioning is essential in packaging designed to protect products during transportation by absorbing shocks and preventing damage. This ensures safe delivery and also reduces waste caused by returns or broken items. As cushioning is highly used in packaging, we implemented steps to minimise its environmental impact:

• We replaced virgin paper cushioning with 100% recycled paper cushioning, certified with the Blue Angel label1 .
• We also began shredding unused cardboard to repurpose it as additional cushioning replacing foam.

The Blue Angel is the ecolabel of the German government that sets stringent standards for environmentally friendly products and services.

Through initiatives like loose loading, eliminating single-use plastic components, and utilising optimised, lighter-weight packaging, we achieved a 35% reduction in plastic packaging per item shipped within one year.

Driving circularity through innovation and collaboration

Extend the warranty and provide care instructions for Westwing Collection products to help customers prolong

their lifespan.

Offer spare parts to reduce replacements and return.

Create a sustainable material library and integrate material innovations and circular design principles into

product development.

Future focus

Launched our first 3D-printed lamp Keani and won Silver in Eco / Green Design at the International Design Awards.

Repaired 12,286 items giving them a second chance and a new life in our customers' homes.

2024 Highlights While addressing product impacts, including resource use and waste, circularity emerges as a vital aspect. Innovation plays a key role in designing products that align with circular principles, enhancing their longevity, durability, and quality.

Over the past year, we explored technologies like 3D printing and collaborated with suppliers to develop products using innovative recycled materials. However, similar to the challenges faced in packaging, new materials such as

recycled plastics are often limited in availability, and the development and testing processes take time to meet our high standards for quality and safety.

By focusing on innovation and collaboration, we are expanding our circular product offerings. In 2025, we plan to launch an innovative table and stool family made with fabric veneer crafted from recycled textile waste and a biodegradable binder. Similarly, we aim to transition our Claire chair family to incorporate plastic recyclates.

The Keani lamp is our first 3D-printed lamp made from 85% recycled materials and the latest innovative addition to our Westwing Collection. In collaboration with recozy, a German leader in additive manufacturing, we launched the Keani lamp, which is crafted using 85-88% recycled plastic sourced from food packaging waste, such as blister trays and fruit bowls. Thanks to recozy's expertise in 3D printing, the Keani lamp is crafted with precision, eliminating waste and reducing energy consumption compared to traditional methods.

One of the core principles of circularity is extending the life of products through repair and care. Occasionally, items may arrive with minor damages due to transportation or handling. At our logistics centre, a dedicated team ensures these items are carefully restored to meet the high standards we uphold, ensuring they are either repurposed, reused, or appropriately redistributed.

Our skilled team can address a variety of issues, from restoring tableware and decorations to refinishing scratched tabletops and repairing chair components. In 2024, we repaired 12,286 items, giving them a renewed purpose and preventing unnecessary waste.

Looking ahead, we are also exploring ways to extend product lifespans through enhanced care instructions, warranties, and the availability of spare parts, ensuring that our focus on quality and longevity aligns with our commitment to premium standards.

2024 Highlights

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, requiring collective efforts from individuals, businesses, and governments. Transitioning to a low-carbon future is essential, and we are taking concrete steps to support this shift.

We have set targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning with

the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, and developed a comprehensive Climate Transition Plan to meet these targets. Our supply chain represents the largest area of our climate impact, making it a key focus in our efforts. By collaborating with suppliers and business partners, we aim to reduce emissions and drive progress across our entire value chain.

Understanding our climate impact begins with collecting and improving emissions data. This includes Scope 1 (direct emissions from our operations), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across our value chain, such as those from suppliers, logistics, and product use). Scope 3 remains the most complex category due to its dependence on external data from multiple stakeholders such as suppliers, logistics partners, and other value chain actors. Improving data quality is key to developing effective reduction strategies.

This year, we streamlined data collection and collaborated with suppliers to obtain more detailed information. We also refined our calculation approach to align fully with the GHG Protocol and completed a comprehensive Scope 3 emissions assessment. As part of this, we conducted a Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) assessment—a framework under the SBTi for measuring emissions from land-related activities such as deforestation, land-use change, and agriculture. Our findings confirmed that FLAG-related emissions are insignificant for our business, as we do not rely heavily on land-intensive activities.

In 2025, we plan to complete a third-party verification of our Scope 3 emissions calculation methodology to identify areas for further improvement.

By streamlining and consolidating operations, we have reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 64%, bringing us closer to our 75% reduction target. To achieve the remaining reduction, we plan to further increase our use of renewable electricity at our logistics centre in Poland.

As a predominantly e-commerce retailer, Scope 3 emissions account for the majority of our carbon footprint, making up over 98% of total emissions. The largest share comes from the products we sell—specifically, the raw materials, production, and transportation from suppliers to our warehouse and then to customers.

In 2024, we successfully reduced packagingrelated emissions by optimizing packaging usage and increasing the share of recycled materials. However, transportation emissions have risen compared to our base year due to the insourcing of local warehouses, leading to longer transport distances. To address this, we are working with logistics partners to optimize routes and exploring alternative solutions such as pickup and drop-off options to reduce emissions where possible.

Tackling climate change requires a clear plan. After assessing our emissions and climate impact, we set SBTi-validated targets and developed a Climate Transition Plan to guide our journey. This plan focuses on key areas, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable supply chain practices, and responsible material sourcing.

Our efforts span Scopes 1, 2, and 3, with a particular focus on Scope 3, where the majority of our emissions occur. By engaging closely with suppliers and refining our sourcing practices, we are working to drive long-term emission reductions and improve resource efficiency.

Understanding the broader climate landscape is equally important. This year, we conducted our

first qualitative climate scenario analysis to assess potential risks and opportunities. You can find more details in our Climate Transition Plan on page 18.

In our early climate action journey, we purchased carbon credits to support carbon removal projects, helping broaden our impact while assessing our emissions footprint and finalising our reduction targets.

Now, with science-based targets in place, we are prioritising direct emissions reductions. We will no longer purchase additional carbon credits but will focus on tangible actions, such as transitioning to renewable electricity.

We aim to source 100% of our energy from renewable sources by 2027. Currently, a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at our logistics centre in Poznań meets approximately 14% of its electricity needs. Additionally, our offices in Munich and Warsaw, the Westwing Delivery Service hub in Munich, and our Hamburg store operate on renewable electricity contracts.

Expanding our use of renewable electricity comes with challenges, particularly in leased buildings, where energy procurement depends on external providers. Despite these constraints, we have made significant progress in securing additional renewable electricity, further increasing our share in the near future. To address the remaining electricity demand, we are evaluating the use of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) as an interim solution.

Beyond electricity, transitioning to renewable energy for heating remains a complex challenge. We are actively exploring viable pathways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and integrate more sustainable energy sources across our operations.

Transition to Renewable Energy

In 2023, energy audits at our logistics centre identified opportunities to optimise energy use, leading to concrete efficiency measures. These included stabilising indoor temperatures, installing door seals, and optimising operational hours, lighting, and forklift battery charging patterns. Additionally, by insourcing international sites and consolidating operations in Poland, we streamlined processes, further reducing energy consumption and emissions.

Energy Efficiency

Our fleet transition efforts focus on vehicles owned or operated by Westwing. While most of our fleet still relies on fossil fuels, we have two electric vehicles. The transition remains challenging due to the limited availability of suitable vehicle models, particularly those with the required size and driving range for our Westwing Delivery Service. We continue to monitor market developments and explore partnerships with external providers to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable fleet.

Vehicle Fleet Transition

Scope 1 and 2 Mitigation Strategies

Scope 3 Mitigation Strategies

As part of our roadmap to have 80% of suppliers by spend set SBTs, we have initiated direct engagement with our Westwing Collection suppliers, brand partners, and logistics carriers. To support this, we introduced tailored internal training to equip our team with the skills needed for meaningful supplier engagement. This includes topics such as calculating carbon emissions and setting SBTs through the SBTi framework.

Engaging suppliers in setting SBTs comes with challenges, as many operate with different levels of climate maturity, data availability, and internal resources. While some suppliers are well advanced in their decarbonisation strategies, others require additional guidance and support to navigate the complexities of emissions calculations and science-based target setting. Despite these hurdles, we are working closely with them to build awareness, provide tools, and encourage actionable commitments.

By working with suppliers, brand partners, and logistics carriers to address emissions and set targets, we aim to drive reductions across production, transportation, and the broader supply chain. Engagement has been particularly strong among our Westwing Collection suppliers, reflecting an increasing commitment to climate action.

In addition to setting SBTs, we collaborate with logistics providers to explore solutions that reduce transportation emissions, such as fleet electrification, route optimisation, and alternative fuels. More details on these initiatives can be found in the Reducing Our Logistics Emissions section, as logistics plays a key role in transitioning to a low carbon future.

Sustainable Supply Chain Practices

To reduce our carbon footprint and resource consumption, we focus on minimising packaging, increasing the use of recycled materials, and reducing waste—particularly in our logistics centre. Our efforts include optimising packaging design to use fewer materials, transitioning to recycled and recyclable alternatives, and improving waste management practices to enhance sorting and recycling. By implementing these measures, we aim to lower emissions, conserve resources, and reduce overall environmental impact.

To learn more about our approach to packaging, visit the WE CARE for our Products - Packaging section.

Sustainable Packaging and Waste Management

Responsibly sourced materials often have a lower carbon footprint than conventional alternatives. This is achieved through more sustainable farming, forestry, and manufacturing practices, such as reduced pesticide and fertiliser use, lower emissions from processing, and less resource-intensive production methods. These improvements help to reduce Scope 3 emissions by lowering the carbon intensity of the materials used in our products.

At Westwing, we prioritise responsible sourcing for our Westwing Collection products, where we have greater control over material selection and supplier practices. To learn more about our approach to responsible materials, visit the WE CARE for our Products – Materials section.

By rethinking and optimising our logistics processes, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining efficient operations that meet customer expectations. Our approach to logistics emissions focuses on two key stages: linehaul and last-mile delivery. Linehaul refers to the transportation of goods from warehouses to distribution hubs, while last-mile covers the final leg of the journey, from these hubs to customers'

doorsteps. Both stages present unique opportunities for optimisation and emission reduction.

In 2024, we initiated engagement with all logistics carriers on carbon footprinting and SBTs and will continue this collaboration over the course of this year.

Reducing our Logistics Emissions

We are optimising vehicle utilisation to reduce the number of trips and associated emissions. A key milestone has been relocating to a new hub closer to our largest logistics centre in Poland, streamlining transportation and further lowering emissions. However, challenges remain, particularly in onboarding some linehaul carriers in carbon emissions management, as this is still a relatively new area for them.

We are exploring solutions that reduce emissions and improve efficiency. Our key initiatives include:

– From early 2024, all parcel and bulky deliveries in Hamburg are transported

– For the first time, sustainability was included as a key criteria in the carrier

– We are expanding the use of dropshipping, where products are shipped directly from suppliers to customers, bypassing our logistics centre. This significantly

• using electric vehicles.
• selection process.
• reduces emissions and enhances efficiency.
• and pick-up/drop-off points.
• sustainable fuels.

– We are exploring out-of-home delivery options, such as parcel locker delivery

– We are assessing sustainable shipping initiatives that lower CO₂ emissions through low-carbon logistics solutions, including electric trucks and

Supplier Code of Conduct (CoC)

Our suppliers are expected to read and comply with our CoCs which cover environmental, social and governance areas.

Follow-up Audits

We conduct follow-up audits to verify whether the identified issues and gaps have been effectively addressed.

Social and Environmental Audits

Our suppliers undergo audits based on internationally recognized standards and schemes, ensuring compliance is assessed at their production facilities.

Corrective Action Plans

Corrective action plans are prepared on identified gaps and issues. We classify findings as minor, major, critical, or zero-tolerance.

To support safe and fair working environments across our supply chain while minimising environmental impacts, we rely on a structured auditing process. This system combines internal evaluations with external third-party audits based on internationally recognised standards and schemes. By identifying areas for development, we work closely with suppliers to support their continuous improvement.

In the past, we focused on EU and non-EU suppliers separately. However, we have since refined our approach, adopting a more holistic perspective and focusing on key and strategic suppliers to ensure tailored engagement and improvements across the board. Our priority is to build stronger partnerships with these suppliers and enhance their performance in social and environmental areas.

• Strategic suppliers: Partners with high potential for growth and innovation, with whom we collaborate closely to drive long-term improvements.
• Key suppliers: Reliable partners with a significant role in providing a stable and diverse assortment of products.
• Complementary suppliers: Partners with a small share in procurement or niche suppliers that contribute specialised products to address specific customer needs or fill product gaps.

How do we categorise our suppliers?

While our key and strategic suppliers are at the heart of our strategic collaboration and capacity-building efforts, we are equally committed to maintaining high standards across all Westwing Collection suppliers. To achieve this, we are rolling out social and environmental self-assessments for our complementary suppliers.

Our goal is for all complementary suppliers to complete these assessments by the end of 2025. For environmental assessments, we use amfori's BEPI tool, and for social assessments, we rely on an internal tool, largely based on the BSCI standards.

What is our approach for complementary suppliers?

Social audits focus on evaluating working conditions and ethical practices. The issues assessed include human rights, discrimination, diversity, working hours, wages, health and safety, and business ethics against international and local standards.

What do we assess in social audits?

Environmental audits assess compliance with environmental standards and performance. The assessment includes the review of environmental permits, environmental management systems, energy use, water use, wastewater, air emissions, waste, chemical management and noise.

What do we assess in environmental audits?

Environmental Audit Schemes

• 69% Internal Audit Protocol
• 20% ISO 14001
• 5% HIGG FEM
• 5% Step
• 1% Other

Social Audit Schemes

• 46% amfori BSCI
• 24% SMETA
• 30% Internal Audit Protocol

Our assessments have highlighted opportunities to enhance health and safety practices across all regions, with EU suppliers also demonstrating potential for further development in social management systems. In non-EU regions, areas for improvement include working hours alongside health and safety standards.

We have observed that familiarity with social and environmental audit processes varies between EU and non-EU suppliers, influenced by the specific contexts of their markets. This can result in differing paces of adaptation to these requirements.

To support all suppliers in addressing these challenges, we prioritise open communication, helping them navigate audit requirements and implement improvements.

To improve supplier performance, we focus on two key areas:

• Environmental and social management systems: These frameworks provide effective tools for addressing identified areas for improvement and promoting long-term progress. We actively support suppliers in establishing these systems.
• Capacity building: All key and strategic suppliers are invited to participate in training programs offered through the amfori Academy, which provide valuable knowledge and resources to strengthen their practices.

What are our key audit findings?

amfori is a global initiative in driving positive social and environmental change within supply chains. Effective supplier relationships go beyond auditing—they require collaboration and knowledge-sharing to drive meaningful progress. By partnering with amfori, we leverage their expertise and extensive network to support our suppliers in enhancing their practices.

We also contribute actively to two of amfori's key working groups—Speak for Change Revision (focused on social topics) and BEPI Continuous Improvement (focused on environmental topics). Through these groups, we share our insights and collaborate to shape the future direction of these programs.

To empower workers, we have introduced amfori's Speak for Change grievance mechanism with select suppliers. This initiative provides a safe and trusted platform for workers to share their feedback and seek solutions. Currently, five of our key and strategic suppliers in India and Vietnam are participating in the program.

Although expansion to additional regions was initially planned, amfori has paused the rollout in India and China to refine its approach. We remain dedicated to supporting this program and will continue implementing it as it evolves.

Speak for Change

Selected key and strategic suppliers began participating in the amfori Academy, which offers e-learning, webinars, and classroom training on a range of social and environmental topics. We are proud to share that over 68% of these suppliers, primarily based in Asia, have already completed their training, gaining valuable knowledge to strengthen their practices further.
