Question Id: E5-4_01
The table above outlines the materials used for manufacturing hearing aids and diagnostic equipment in Demant’s own operations and upstream value chain. In 2024, the resource inflow decreased by 1,572 tonnes compared to 2023, mainly due to reduced purchases of plastic by our Diagnostics business area in 2024.

Question Id: E5-4_08
The resource inflow and outflow are based on estimates, using internal and external data combined with assumptions, and is then extrapolated to the total population based on sales volumes and inventory movements. Key assumptions are for resource inflow including actual weight of the materials found in two hearing aids and then multiplied with the total sales. In-house subject matter experts are consulted to reduce the risk of over- or understating. However, as the reported numbers are based on generic assumptions, numbers are subject to change when we gain access to more accurate data.
