LETTER FROM OUR CEO Looking back on the past year, we have taken our work with sustainability and responsibility even further. Corporate Social Responsibility has always been a fundamental part of our company cul- ture for more than three decades and it continues to be so. CSR is about the act of incorporating environmental and social concerns into our planning and operations. Therefo- re, it is essential for ID® Identity as a company to take care of the social and environmental challenges by actively ta- king the necessary responsible choices to contribute with product goods that are ethically and responsibly produced. We focus on well-designed products produced in materials ensuring a long lifespan to reduce environmental impacts. It was clear to us that we wanted to be a supplier that does things right and takes responsibility for how we impact humans and the environment – no mat- ter where in the world we manufacture our products. Today the Sustainable Development Goals are as incorporated in our daily CSR strategy as the Ten Principles. The cooperation with our suppliers is based on mutual respect for the fundamental human rights and working conditions. We seek to influence our manufacturers to live and integrate these throughout their supply chain. This describes the actions and achieve- ments we are working with to integrate Global Compact, SDGs and the Ten Prin- ciples into our business strategy. We will continue our work with CSR to ensure a continued progress. It is ID ® Identity’s goal to minimize the impact we and our suppliers have on the environment. We stress in our Code of Conduct that we aim to work with producers who focus on, and strive to minimise, environmental impact. Already in 2017, we made great strides towards sourcing more sustainable cotton, when we received the license for EU Ecolabel, which also places demand on responsible cotton production. As a natural part of our engagement, we became a proud member of the Better Cotton Initiative, BCI in December 2020. Being a member of BCI is a result of our ongoing work towards taking greater responsibility for our impact on people and the environment. Going forward, we will continue our work with sustainability across all levels of our organization. We will continue to select focus areas, where we believe, will can play a significant role in creating sustainability, environment and ethics tomorrow. Thomas Husted, CEO at ID ® Identity This statement will be available to our stakeholders and other interested.
