Leading with

responsibility

As I reflect on another year of growth and evolu­

tion at Nitton93 Group, I am proud to present our

commitment to sustainable practices in the design,

production and installation of all products and services

delivered by the Group.

At Nitton93 and OSS, we recognize that our work

extends far beyond creating exceptional retail en­

vironments. We also have a responsibility to mini­

mize our environmental impact while maximizing

the positive influence we have on the communities

we serve. The retail spaces we design and install

become gathering places where people shop, work,

and connect, making our role in creating sustainable

spaces even more significant.

Our Sustainability Journey

This year has marked important milestones in our

sustainability journey. We have made conscious deci­

sions to prioritize materials with lower environmental

impact, reduce waste in our installation processes,

and work with suppliers who share our commitment

to responsible business practices. With our focus

on the right quality and durability in line with our

customer needs, we aim to create elements and areas

to last longer, reducing the need for frequent renova­

tions and material replacement.

We have created a guideline, and our structured

way of working called “The TripleC process” where

Concept – Cost – Carbon makes headlines and focus

areas of all creative and operational processes.

Our Sustainability certificate in the SBTi environ­

ment, have “forced us” to create a solid platform with

clear guiding in how we focus, act and operate.

Looking forward

The retail industry is rapidly evolving, and we see

sustainability not as a constraint, but as an opportu­

nity for innovation. We are investing in new tech­

nologies and techniques that allow us to create more

efficient installations while reducing material waste.

Our team continues to develop expertise in sustainable

materials and energy-efficient solutions that help our

clients achieve their own environmental goals.

We are also committed to being responsible employers

and community partner. This means providing safe

working conditions, supporting the professional

development of our team, and contributing positively

to the local communities where we operate.

Nitton93 is one of the leading store interior compa­

nies in the Nordics. We develop, source and deliver

store interior and store communication material

to leading retailers and brands. In 2024 Nitton93

Group had an annual turnover of SEK 625 million

and 170 employees in Sweden, Norway and Poland.

The Group operates under the brands Nitton93 and

Regardless of industry, brand, or price point, we

believe that retail is all about experiences. We aim

to understand consumers’ needs and patterns to

create spaces where people enjoy themselves, are

comfortable and want to return. Today, the distinc­

tion between online and offline is seamless. So, it is

more important than ever that the two complement

each other. In the physical interior we add elements

that add value, service, and customer experience that

strengthen our customers’ brands.

In the end our mission is simple: “To help retailers

improve shop profitability”.

Nitton93 was founded in 1992 in Örebro, Sweden,

and is owned 70 % by Sareq Invest AB and 30 % by

key individuals within the organization. Sareq Invest

AB is a Swedish investment company headquartered

in Stockholm.

At Nitton93, we take pride in running a profitable

business. Profitability enables us to create value for

all stakeholders. It allows us to employ and fairly

compensate local talent, purchase goods and services

and pay our suppliers on time, meet our financial

obligations, and contribute to society through taxes.

It also makes it possible for us to invest in reducing

our carbon footprint, deliver on our promises, promo­

te employee well-being, place clear expectations on

our partners, and provide a return to our shareholders.

Our commitment

to transparency

Actions and resources related

obiodiversity and ecosystems

We take our responsibility for the environment

seriously and work to minimize the negative impact

of our operations on the planet.

Nitton93 Group takes a strategic and responsible

approach to sourcing raw materials, aiming to

balance resource availability and cost efficiency with

environmental and social considerations on both

risks and opportunities. To identify where our im­

pact is in the ESG area, we have conducted a double

materiality analysis according to ESRS1. The results

from this analysis are a big part of this sustainability

report. The extraction and use of raw materials can

significantly affect natural ecosystems, influencing

water resources, forests, and soil quality. Potential

environmental consequences include deforestation,

At Nitton93 and OSS, we are committed to creating sustainable and responsible interior

solutions. Our ambition is to contribute to a more sustainable future by designing and

delivering products that are not only functional and aesthetically appealing but also

environmentally friendly and socially responsible. We strive to be a leading player in

sustainable interiors by continuously reducing our environmental impact and ensuring

ethical working conditions throughout our supply chain. You can read more about our

sustainability policy on our homepage under the sustainability chapter.

loss of habitats, air and water pollution, greenhouse

gas emissions, and soil degradation. These effects can

pose serious challenges for ecosystems, wildlife, and

the well-being of local communities that depend on

these natural resources.

In our Self-Assessment form, we kindly ask all our

suppliers to document that they don’t use any raw

materials from vulnerable areas in production. If

anyone is working with material from these areas,

Nitton93 can discontinue the agreement.

We aim to support our customers and suppliers in

making better environmental choices through our

self-developed TripleC methodology that will help

important facts about Concept, Cost and Carbon.

We strive to create an inclusive, fair, and respect­

ful work environment where everyone is treated

with dignity and respect, regardless of gender, age,

ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or

other personal characteristics. We believe that the

differences between us make us better and help us

become a better partner for customers and suppliers.

We operate with the highest level of ethics and inte­

grity in our work and business relationships. Themes

like Business Ethics, Transparency, Accountability

and Integrity are highly valued in our organization.

Statement on sustainability due diligence

A part of Nitton93 Group is located and work under

Norwegian law, we have decided that the hole Nitton93

Group should engage under the same responsibility

regarding sustainability. That’s why Nitton93 as a

group has signed the Norwegian Transparency Act

as a statement on sustainability due diligence.

We believe that true sustainability means taking

responsibility – not only for what we deliver, but also

for how it’s made, who is involved, and the impact

we leave behind.

Our value chain is built on transparency, collabora­

tion and continuous improvement and also, to take

action on material impacts on value chain workers.

We work closely with partners, suppliers, and custo­

mers to reduce environmental impact, promote fair

working conditions, and foster innovation that drives

positive change.

Sourcing, a way to work together with our customer.

We carefully select materials and partners that meet

our high standards for environmental and social re­

sponsibility. Wherever possible, we choose renewable,

recycled, or certified materials.

Production, in cooperation with our suppliers, we

continuously strive for sustainability improvement

in our supply chain. In doing so Nitton93 holds

ourselves and our supplier accountable. We expect

our suppliers to be transparent and to work with

us to achieve continuous sustainable supply chain

improvements. When choosing new suppliers,

sustainability is a key factor for Nitton93 and when

evaluating potential suppliers’ sustainability is a

major part of the evaluation. Each year, we carry out

a self-assessment of all our subcontractors to perform

a risk analysis and evaluate the sustainability of our

suppliers.

Logistics, we optimize our transport and delivery

methods to reduce carbon footprints, choosing

greener alternatives when available and planning for

efficiency.

End-of-life, sustainability doesn’t stop at delivery.

We also consider product life cycles, circular solu­

tions, and how we can support reuse, recycling, or

safe disposal.

Nitton93

and the

value chain

At Nitton93, sustainability is not just a goal – it’s started to become a mindset that guides

everything we do. From the first idea to the final product or service, we work to ensure that

every step in our value chain is aligned with responsible and future-focused practices.

15

S U S TA I NA BI L I T Y R E P ORT 2 0 2 4 | NI T T ON9 3 GRO UP

Nitton93 encourages all our suppliers to invest in

and prioritize good solutions for our environment.

One of our suppliers has invested in solar energy

and contributes more and more of our value chain to

have a positive impact on our CO2 emissions.

As part of its environmental program, SIP has

installed a photovoltaic system with a capacity of

200 kW, generating approximately 190 MWh of

clean, renewable energy annually. This initiative

contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas

emissions.

Given Poland’s average CO₂ emission factor of 0.75

tons per MWh – due to a coal-heavy energy mix

– the solar installation helps avoid approximately

142.5 tons of CO₂ emissions each year.

In addition to the environmental benefits, the

system provides a noticeable reduction in electri­

city costs, particularly during the summer months

when solar production is at its peak. This not only

supports SIP’s climate goals but also enhances long-

term operational efficiency.

Case: Solar Energy Initiative at SIP

As part of our efforts to reduce our climate footprint,

we at Nitton93 have focused this year on optimizing

our transportation. Together with our partner, Steve

Special transporter, we have taken concrete steps to

increase the load capacity of our trucks – an initiative

that both reduces emissions and improves logistics

efficiency.

Through close dialogue and joint planning, we have

been able to better coordinate our deliveries, leading

to fewer transports with higher utilization rates.

Among other things, we have introduced routines

for consolidating goods from different projects and

developed a more flexible scheduling system with

our suppliers, which helps avoid empty runs.

Including the work that is still ongoing in Q3 and

Q4, we estimate that empty runs will be reduced by

40 %. This is a concrete example of how small changes

in working methods can have a significant impact

– both for the climate and on our operations.

Our collaboration with Steve Special transporter

shows that when we work closely with our partners

and share the same vision, we can truly make a diffe­

rence for a more sustainable future.

UN:S SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT GOALS

In 2024, we took a further step in our sustainability journey by joining the UN Global Compact.

As a responsible business, we are committed to supporting the United Nations Global Compact

and aligning our operations with its Ten Principles. We focus on advancing Sustainable Development

Goals (SDGs) 8, 10, 12, and 13 – key areas where we believe we can make a meaningful impact.

Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

We promote sustained, inclusive, and sustai­

nable economic growth, full and productive employ­

ment, and decent work for all. We are committed

to fair labor practices, equal opportunities, and safe

working conditions across our operations and supply

chains. Through investments in skills development,

responsible recruitment, and leadership training, we

contribute to long-term job creation and employee

empowerment. All our employees and suppliers need

to sign the company’s Code of Conduct.

Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities

We work to reduce inequalities within our

company and in the communities where we operate.

Our diversity and inclusion initiatives aim to ensure

equal treatment regardless of gender, ethnicity,

background, or other status. We actively promote

inclusive practices throughout our organization and

value chains, ensuring that underrepresented groups

have a voice and fair opportunities.

Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

We are committed to responsible production

and consumption patterns by optimizing resource use,

reducing waste, and integrating circular economy

principles. We continuously assess our environ­

mental impact, seek sustainable alternatives in our

materials and processes, and engage our stakeholders

in building more sustainable value chains.

Goal 13: Climate Action

We recognize the urgency of addressing cli­

mate change and take proactive steps to reduce our

greenhouse gas emissions. Through science-based

targets, energy efficiency measures, and increased

use of renewable energy, we are working to minimize

our climate footprint. We also assess climate-related

risks and opportunities to future-proof our business

and support the global transition to a low-carbon

economy. More about Nitton93 journey towards a

better environment you will find in the section about

Actions and Targets

Nitton93 Group successfully had its Science Based

Target (SBT) validated and approved follow-

ing a thorough and complex application process.

By establishing Science Based Targets and developing

a roadmap for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, we

are taking concrete action to address our climate im­

pact and have a clear strategy for reaching our goals.

Our direct GHG emissions – classified under Scope

1 and 2 – primarily stem from company-leased

vehicles, as well as electricity and heating used in

our offices, and warehouses. While these emissions

represent a relatively small portion of our total cli­

mate footprint, we are committed to reducing them.

Improving energy efficiency not only contributes to

lower emissions but also strengthens our financial

performance by reducing electricity demand from

the power grid.

Although there are no exclusions in our SBTi app­

lication, certain exclusions apply in our emissions

reporting. Our Scope 3 reporting currently is not

included in our 2024 report.

Targets related to climate change

mitigation and adaptation

At Nitton93, we firmly believe that true sustainability

is about walking the talk. Driving real changes requires

clear goals and concrete commitment. That’s why, as

a group, we’ve pledged to reduce our emissions by at

least 42% by 2030 through the Science Based Targets

initiative (SBTi).

SCIENCE BASED CLIMATE GOALS

Climate action remains a critical priority for us and our stakeholders.

Throughout the past year, we have maintained a strong focus on this area and

made solid advancements in several key areas of our environmental efforts.

Carbon footprint

breakdown

– environmental

impact

A carbon footprint represents the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused both directly and

indirectly by us as an organization. These emissions stem from activities included in Scope 1 and 2,

such as energy use, and fossil fuel. To make comparisons easier, all emissions are expressed in tons

of carbon dioxide equivalents (tCO2e) in this breakdown.

Growing as a company while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions is a complex balancing act. Growth often

requires increased resources, transportation, and energy consumption. Success demands active, long-term efforts

focused on sustainable solutions, innovation, and the courage to transform established business models.
