- Supply chain disruptions.
- High GHG emissions from raw materials and end-of-life treatment of carpets.
- Need to find alternatives for natural gas in drying ovens.
- Large amount of waste sent for incineration.
- Difficulty in recycling used carpets.
- Potential biodiversity impacts from raw material extraction and product end-of-life.
- Maintaining a diverse workforce across age groups.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced natural gas consumption by 1.2 million m³ annually through the installation of electric boilers in Herning North and Gram, reducing approximately 40% of scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions.
- Reduced incinerated waste by 25% compared to the financial year 2019/2020.
- Launched Ege CircleBack take-back system for recycling selected carpets.
- Established a new business unit, "From Waste to Resource", to develop recycling possibilities for production waste and used carpets.
- Reduced carbon emissions by 48% in scope 1 & 2 and 30% in scope 3 since 2019/2020.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Reduce water consumption (due to internal quality issues within our dye process at Herning North, we have added a water purification process here. This process has increased the intake of water but lowered the number of internal errors.)
- Further reduce natural gas consumption through electrification projects.
📅 Medium-term
- Achieve 75% recycled or renewable raw materials by 2030.
- Phase out natural gas use in all manufacturing sites by 2030.
- All production waste reused, recycled or composted by 2030.
🔭 Long-term
- Reduce carbon emissions by 50.6% in scope 1 & 2 and by 27.5% in scope 3 by 2030.
- All carpets covered by a reuse or recycling system by 2030.
