Rosendahl Design Group A/S Annual Report 2024 • ESG Reporting REDUCING OUR EMISSIONS Our main emissions are generated in our upstream value chain. We use the Målbar tool to calculate the CO2-emissions from all products sold – our news and the core. This also provides us with insights on which categories and steps in the value chain that generates the biggest impact. By the end of 2024 we are at 82% calculated products and expect to reach 100% by 2025. When we have full insights, we aim to develop an action plan for decarbonisation that is aligned with the Paris agreement. We are simultaneously using the insights we have gained to reduce our carbon footprint, i.e. by reducing packaging on selected products. BIODIVERSITY LOSS Decline in biodiversity is closely linked to climate change, pollution, and land and water use. We manufacture products from natural materials, such as wood and cotton which, in the raw material production, influence the land use in the areas where it is grown. This is one of the reasons why we have become FSC® and GOTS certified - to make sure that the impact on nature is controlled. We currently know too little about our overall impact on bio- diversity throughout the value chain, but what we do know is that it is becoming increasingly important to control and reduce. We have therefore tagged biodiversity as one of the emerging topics, to which we must give extra attention in the coming years. During 2025 we will progress on a biodiversity analysis of our value chain to identify hot spots from which we can develop an action plan for how to mitigate the potential negative impact. To that end we have joined a working group under the organisation Lifestyle and Design cluster. FIGURE 5 PRODUCT LIFECYCLE PHASES INCLUDED IN THE MÅLBAR LIFECYCLE ASSESSMENT.
