* 2017 New Wave Group had 7 488 unique active products (color/size excluded). Due to difficulties in data collection we are not able to report how the distribution of total number of products looks between textile and hardline products.
** Compared with textile products the selection of ecolabels and certification for hardline products is limited, which is reflected in the number of reported hardline products with sustainable attribute.
