Areas of impact At the next stage of the analysis, key issues for the organ- isation at the internal level were identified. We investigated the previously identified areas in terms of their impact on the company’s ability to achieve its strategic goals, including in the context of risk and opportunity management. The entire process was completed by identifying priority issues in the area of sustainability and confirming their consistency with the company’s strategic goals through their validation with the management staff. In this way, we determined the scope of the reported disclosures. Conclusions from the analysis are taken into account in ongoing activities and operational plans for the coming years. Our list of relevant topics did not change significantly since the previous reporting period. In some cases, however, the level of relevance of a topic changed. The main changes concerned the growing importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, consequently, energy consumption. In times of drastic climate change, this topic is becoming increasingly important and is clearly reflected in the directions of Nowy Styl activities described in this report. A change that was strongly emphasised by our customers was the growing importance of ecodesign, already implemented by Nowy Styl, which aggregates, on many levels, the multiple environmental requirements applicable to all life cycle stages of our products. We see ecodesign as the foundation of consistent development and implementation of the principles of circular economy at the level of products, processes and business models. We also recognise the need to increase the engage- ment of our resources into ensuring compliance with environmental and socio-economic regulations, given their multiplicity, complexity and the associated burdens on the company. The most important topics continue to include ensuring safe and hygienic working conditions for our employees and healthy and safe products for our customers. 159
