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. This policy is approved by our Board of Directors, and Executive Management is accountable for implementation. Our policy commitments also include ongoing work to ensure compliance with product recycling legislation, where we finance recycling infrastructure according to the EU WEEE directive in EU markets. In the U.S. states, where some of our products are covered by extended producer responsibility legislation, in 2024 we established partnerships to enable end-users to send their products in for recycling.

All resource inflows metrics are estimated using our product lifecycle assessments (LCAs), as these contain verified component-level data, including material composition and measured weight. The LCAs we have available are allocated at the item level across the product portfolio. All LCAs are third-party verified according to ISO 14067. For products currently lacking an LCA, a reference LCA is allocated. Professional judgement is applied in the selection of a reference that will best represent the product or part. An uplift is conducted for items that cannot be represented by an LCA, based on the calculated average per unit volume purchased or produced. For Enterprise, Gaming & Consumer products, one unit packaging per unit product has been assumed.
