SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

ESRS 2, IRO-1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material pollution-related impacts, risks and opportunities

The impact has been identified as part of AddLife’s double materiality assessment. The materiality assessment has been based on overall knowledge of the Group’s operations and supplier structure through internal stakeholder dialogues, as well as on publicly available risk analyses for supply chains in medical devices and consumables. The risk analyses indicate that pollution is likely to occur within the sector’s typical supply chains. However, AddLife has not carried out any review of the Group’s specific suppliers and their production facilities, nor any consultations with, for example, affected local communities.

E2-1 Policies related to pollution

During the reporting period, AddLife updated its Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct in order to clarify the Group’s commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable development in the supply chain. Preventing and reducing pollution throughout the value chain is included within the scope of this commitment and is addressed in general terms in both governing documents. The updated governing documents were adopted by the Board of Directors after the end of the financial year. In addition to these governance documents, AddLife has no other Group‑wide policy that specifically governs impacts related to pollution of air, water and soil. For further information on AddLife’s Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct in their entirety, see “Code of Conduct and group-wide policies” in chapter G1 Business conduct.

E2-2 Actions and resources related to pollution

During the reporting period, AddLife has started to implement the Group’s sustainability due diligence process in the supply chain. Initially, the most material and strategic areas will be prioritised, but over time the process will be applicable to all material sustainability matters that have been identified as part of the Group’s double materiality assessment, in order to proactively manage negative impacts and risks in the upstream value chain. This includes climate- and environment-related matters, including pollution. AddLife will implement the process gradually within the Group and prioritise based on the subsidiaries’ capacity and maturity, customer requirements and the complexity of the sustainability matters. During the reporting period, AddLife has monitored the issue of pollution from a compliance perspective. For further information on the due diligence process in the supply chain, see “Sustainability due diligence in the supply chain” in chapter G1 Business conduct.

E2-3 Targets related to pollution

AddLife’s targets related to pollution align with the Group’s targets for sustainability in the supply chain. For more information on the target for sustainability in the supply chain, see “Targets related to business conduct” in chapter G1 Business conduct. In addition to this target, AddLife currently has no additional group-wide target or metric that more specifically relates to impacts connected to pollution.
