Sustainability work with our suppliers: We have worked strategically with our closest suppliers to improve sustainability both short and long term. Examples is that we have implemented shorter inbound shipping routes directly from factory to our warehouse instead of passing several warehouses in different countries. Before 2021 we imported cables from Norway to Sweden that were assembled in Germany, now we are bringing them in locally to each warehouse. Created different CoC to implement among our suppliers and got them signed.
