Rosendahl Design Group A/S Annual Report 2023 • ESG Reporting 2023 Highligts REDUCING OUR EMISSIONS As a company designing products which are produced by suppliers around the world, our main emissions are generated in our downstream value chain. The production of glass and ceramic (among other materials) is energy intensive, and the energy used by suppliers is not necessarily from renewable sources. Emissions created in the downstream value chain are not under our own control, which complicates the work with reductions. During 2024 we will commit to a carbon emission reduction target and develop an action plan for reductions moving forward. The commitment will cover all 3 scopes, due to the sizeable share generated in scope 3. LIFECYCLE ASSESSMENTS – THE MÅLBAR CASE We have a high focus on the quality of the data used in our climate reporting, as high-quality data is a prerequisite to be able to measure the changes made and see the potential reductions. During 2023 we have managed to calculate the CO2e footprint for over 50% of our current product assort- ment using the Lifecycle assessment tool Målbar. Our aim is to reach 100% in 2024. The improved data quality enables us to analyze the product assortment and materials to identify where the main emissions are to be found, and make sure that we act on reductions and improvements where they have the greatest impact. There are also learnings on the way, as we become aware of the small things that with a high quantity of products bought, also has a big impact, such as reducing packaging material used for one of our best-selling Christmas items, meaning less material used, less air shipped and a reduction of 25% CO2e per product.
