We take responsibility for more than just CO 2 emissions from our production processes and transportation of our products. We expect our business partners and suppliers to adopt the same attitude in operating their businesses. Global supply chains produce large amounts of carbon dioxide – from carbon dioxide emitted in the production process, to fossil fuels used in transportation, to emissions from storage and distribution. At present, we calculate the carbon footprint of our organisation within Scopes 1 and 2, which means we take into account CO 2 emissions from energy consumption in our installations, by electricity suppliers for our offices and factories, as well as by company cars and air travel. However, we are aware that most of our impact in this area comes from suppliers manufacturing materials and compo- In 2021, we carried out a risk analysis of 173 organisations. The study aims to monitor and supervise our current and future suppliers for potential threats. 5.3 Getting ready to report CO 2 emissions in the supply chain nents for our needs. What is the scale of that impact? In 2021, we took the first step to identify this situation and, together with our partners, make an effort to reduce green- house gas emissions. In response to a question about emissions sent to our key suppliers, we obtained incomplete data from selected companies. In this way, we identified the most emissions-conscious suppliers – including the winners of our Supplier Sustainability Award 2021: Gabriel A/S, BASF Polska and Rehau Sp. z o.o., with whom we can exchange knowledge and support each other on the way to reducing the carbon footprint. We gave a clear signal to the remaining suppliers, who had not monitored this kind of data before, that emission reporting would soon become our standard. GRI 414-1 GRI 308-1 In the reporting period, 100% of new suppliers were checked for compliance with environmental and social criteria using a self-assess- ment questionnaire, which was comprehensively assessed by Nowy Styl staff. Further decisions regarding cooper- ation with the supplier are made based on the assessment.
