Embellish with Excellence

Embellence Group deems that a focused ESG process goes hand in hand with longterm growth and high profitability, as it is a prerequisite for building future-proof premium and luxury brands – and developing attractive products.

Embellence Group’s ESG agenda ‘Embellish with Excellence’ includes the Group’s most important environmental, social and ethical aspects. The name captures the Group’s main objective - to Embellish the world in an Excellent way. ‘Excellence’ signifies a continuous and long-term commitment to protecting and safeguarding  the environment, the climate, people and shared values.

Three focus areas
The ESG agenda is based on three focus areas. The Group’s climate and environmental commitment (A sustainable value chain) is focused on reducing the Group’s direct and indirect negative impacts on the environment and the climate. The social sustainability theme (A sustainable organisation and stimulating workplace) is focused on ensuring all employees health and wellbeing as well as taking a stand on important social issues. Processes linked to ethics (Responsible and ethical business) are focused on securing the right conditions, prerequisites and optimal governance structures to ensure ethical business practices.

A sustainable value chain

Embellence Group’s climate and environmental commitment is aimed at mnimising the Group’s direct and indirect negative impacts on the environment and the climate. The process is based on two strategic focus areas:

MORE EMBELLISHMENT WITH LESS IMPACT
Measure and reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions in a reliable and continuous manner.

EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF MATERIALS AND RESOURCES
Switch to sustainable and renewable, and respect and use the materials, resources and energy used by the Group effi ciently.

A sustainable organisation and stimulating workplace

The theme of Embellence Group’s social sustainability initiative is ‘A sustainable organisation and stimulating workplace’ with a focus on employee health, well-being and development, and the protection and consolidation of shared values. The Group’s ability to identify, attract, develop and retain the right employees, with the right skills and attitude, is absolutely critical for the Group’s continued success.
