Commitments for 2024-2025: GRI 2-23 GRI 2-25 GRI 3-3 Respect for the natural environment is an inherent part of Nowy Styl’s mission. As a production company, we are fully aware of the impact we have on the environment. In our daily work, we identify, monitor and work to minimise the potentially negative impact of our activities by implementing a number of measures managed under the Environmental Action Programme. Environmental aspects and risks are analysed for all Nowy Styl production and office locations. We analyze and evaluate environmental aspects and risks in the perspective of the entire life cycle of our products in accordance with the implemented eco-design. We work in accordance with certified management systems based on the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 14006, EMAS, CO 2 Performance Ladder as well as the FSC ® and PEFC standards. All our manufacturing companies are currently covered by ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. We are also fully committed to keeping those systems functional by providing the necessary resources for their maintenance and continuous improvement, including continuous improvement of the environmental performance of our products throughout their life cycle. Our company Nowy Styl Deutschland GmbH also has a voluntary eco-man- agement and audit system EMAS in place, in addition to an environmental management system compliant with ISO 14001:2015, which imposes addi- tional requirements related, among other things, to active employee engage- ment and broadly understood transparency of operations and reporting. 125
