CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENT

At Wheat, we want to take responsibility for the impact our company has on the environment and climate - to the extent possible. This work considers steps along the entire life cycle and value chain of our products; how they are designed, what materials they are made of, how these materials are sourced and processed, transported, used, and finally disposed of.

Our focus is both where improvement is straightforward and within our control - such as technical design features, product certifications or offering replacement parts - and where impact requires long-term engagement and commitment.

Wheat follows the guidelines for mapping, preventing and improving negative impacts as set out by the OECD (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development).

Since 2025, Wheat has also worked with the B Corp standard's framework for environmental and climate due diligence.

PEOPLE

At Wheat, we want to take responsibility for the impact our company has on people; the children, customers, business partners and workers in the value chain, local communities, our employees, and more.

As part of this work, we map and analyze the groups of people that Wheat affects - and that, in turn, affect Wheat. This gives us insight into where we need to pay particular attention and, where relevant, apply stricter requirements or procedures. Prevention and management of negative impacts is carried out in accordance with the OECD's (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) guidelines.

The foundation for all of Wheat's policies and procedures is national and international laws and guidelines on responsible business conduct, and human and labor rights.
