ABOUT THE REPORT Welcome to ege Group's new Sustainability Report. This year, the Sustainability Report is published in a new format. The title has been changed, the focus has been adjusted and the content looks different. We look forward to presenting the Sustainability Report to you. The report covers the financial year from 1 May 2019 to 30 April 2020 and includes the entire ege Group, comprising four brands: Ege Carpets (formerly egetæpper), Hammer Carpets, Bentzon Carpets and Carpet Concept. The report was previously based on the seven focus areas set out in the CSR standard, DS 49001, in accordance with which Ege Carpets’ production sites hold certification. Going forward, we will instead focus more individually on the areas on which the individual brands concentrate in their sustainability and social responsibility work. The report still includes our statutory Corporate Social Responsibility Report, cf. Section 99a of the Danish Financial Statements Act , and firm of auditors EY has ensured that the report is in compliance with the Act. The report also serves as our Communication on Progress report for the UN Global Compact. The figures in the Sustainability Report have not been verified by a third party. In the long term, we would like all figures to be externally verified. Until then, we emphasise that we devote a lot of internal work to verifying the figures for the individual brands. This year, we have faced challenges with a number of the figures in the report, since Ege Carpets has changed ERP system, with the consequence of a delay in the registration of consumption data. This year, some of the statements from Ege Carpets are therefore based on different sources than usual and it may be the case that the data is subject to a degree of uncertainty. The report therefore has a smaller data base than usual. Questions concerning the Sustainability Report can be addressed to: Group CSR Director Henrik Schmidt Hansen: hsh@egegroup.dk CSR Manager Dorthe Aaboe Kallestrup: dak@egegroup.dk 1 See Annex 1 for further details of Section 99a.
