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.
