The world is facing a number of serious challenges that must be addressed urgently. To point the way to a sustainable future, the United Nations (UN) has identified a number of areas for improvement, which are summarized in 17 goals: The Sustainable Development Goals These offer a comprehensive approach to support governments, companies, organizations and people around the world in solving these problems. After reviewing the 17 goals and assessing our ability to support their successful fulfillment, we have selected three goals on which we will place our main focus.

That way, we hope the healthy choice is an option. . for everyone, regardless of future income level.
We make furniture and thus inevitably affect the climate, the environment, and the surrounding communities, and in everything we do, we constantly strive to be more sustainable. We strive to use as many certified raw materials as possible, some of which are recycled, to optimize production waste streams and eliminate as many unsustainable materials as possible. We expect the same from our suppliers. We encourage consumers to buy sustainable products like our furniture and use them sustainably so that they last longer and can be recycled after use.
Our goal is to reduce the energy consumption in our production, and we pack our products in flat and compact boxes to optimize transport. In the coming years we will collect all the necessary data to be able to further improve our climate.
It is inevitable that the production of furniture, like any other high-volume production, will have an impact on the climate. At OLS we try to minimize these effects in every possible way with the tools and procedures available to us. We must rely on valid data for decisions. In the coming years we will increase the collection of various climate-related data. This work is already in progress; We have already mapped the vast majority of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions and the process has started mapping and analyzing our Scope 3 CO2 emissions. Scope 1 and 2, which include all emissions related to our own operations and assets, are under our own direct control. Scope 3 requires that we work with our suppliers, customers and the environment, which means that this part of the process is much more demanding.
We source raw materials with a high proportion of recycled materials where it makes sense, for example packaging and some wood-based materials. At the same time, we strive to minimize the pollutant content of the raw materials, both in the interests of our end users and to increase the recyclability of the materials when disposing of furniture after use. and the procurement strategies of the local chipboard manufacturers. We are increasingly focusing on this part of the life cycle of our furniture and trying to ensure the best and friendliest disposal or recycling practices when selecting and dismantling raw materials.
Our product design and purchasing process are optimized to minimize production waste. We take care to classify by-products as much as possible so that they can be reused or recycled. Most of the by-products of our production are chipboard and MDF cuts as well as sawdust. Our panel suppliers use a considerable part of the chipboard waste for new panels. Despite our increasing production volume, we have managed to reduce our total share of waste in recent years. We are constantly looking for alternative uses for this waste, the rest of which is incinerated in slightly larger quantities. In 2021, we will continue to focus on reducing waste across our supply chain, including our external partners.
The safety and health of our employees is of the utmost importance to us. The importance is increased by the fact that our production process includes the use of large machines and manual processes. We have developed a comprehensive organization of work environment groups in all departments that play an important and proactive role in mitigating potential risks and suggesting improvements based on new processes and new technologies, focusing on mental health, stress and advocating a positive work culture. We focus on developing safety walks, management reports, developing health and safety organizations, employee development groups, and training employees in safety procedures. Efforts, all incidents, da new health and safety committee that analyzes all initiatives and issues related to health.
Although we have significantly increased the level of automation in our production processes, our factories and distribution centers still employ a large number of people, and when we focus on developing our employees’ skills, our primary focus is on their safety. That is why we conduct a large number of peer training sessions for our employees every year so that everyone is trained in how to use the machines they work with, which is also reflected in higher product quality and lower reworking volumes. Talent and management skills development programs in the company.
As a partially owner-managed company, OLS builds on a solid foundation of decency and the rule of law. This is reflected in everything we do. We always want to comply with all legal requirements and regulations. our constant focus on minimizing the risk of unlawful behavior.
To ensure ethically correct behavior in our organization, we introduce an updated whistleblower scheme to make sure any employee has the opportunity to report illegal or unwanted activities or behavior anonymously. In the coming year, we will update our whistleblower scheme, and ensure that the same version is rolled out at all sites at OLS. Additionally, we will implement an internal training program for the employees.
