Over the next two years, we are also aiming to take actions related to testing and introducing recycled metals, while between now and 2030, we will also investigate the feasibility of implementing more sustainable materials used in electronic components, such as PCBs, speaker drivers and batteries, working closely with suppliers and engaging in partnerships to drive innovation in these areas.

Our Environmental Policy also covers resource outflows, stating that we strive to minimize generation of waste from our business by including circularity principles, such as durability, repairability, recyclability and ease-of-disassembly, into the design of our products. The policy also states that in terms of management of products in-market or at end-of-life, we strive to recover or maintain value through services and partnerships that support reuse, refurbishment or recycling of products or components through enabling remanufacturing, refurbishment, repair, out-of-warranty takeback schemes and as-a-service leasing models.

Towards achieving our policy intention to reduce the impact associated with our resource use, we are introducing recycled and non-fossil materials, which is driven by our voluntary target set in 2021 to use at least 50% recycled or renewable material in all newly developed products in 2025, measured as the percentage of the total weight of mechanical parts (i.e. plastics, metals, fabrics and other non-electronic parts). Through this target, we aim to increase the use of circular material and minimize the use of primary raw material by building a stable supply of recycled materials to apply across our product portfolio, ultimately contributing to a lower environmental footprint of our materials and more developed and therefore cost-effective recycling capabilities across our supply chain.

Our Environmental Policy, covering GN’s approach to all material environmental topics across our own operations and value chain, includes a section on resource inflows, stating that our commitment to reducing resource inflows by optimizing for efficient resource use in the design of our product and avoiding unnecessary production waste. Where this is technically and operationally feasible, we are committed to introducing recycled or renewable alternatives for materials used in our products. For biological or renewable materials, such as paper and cardboard used in our packaging, we strive to source these materials sustainably to ensure this does not lead to deforestation. The provenance of the materials we use is pivotal to the impact of our value chain, which is why we source materials with credible third-party certifications, such as FSC, ISCC Plus and Global Recycling Standard.
