1

All data presented in the Sustainability Statements are subject to the non-financial reporting policy.

2

The baseline emissions for our Science Based Targets (year: 2016) were recalculated to 1.65 due to the inclusion of eight acquired sites in the reporting scope.

3

The total biogenic CO2 emissions from combustion of biofuels is available as of 2020.

4

The 2019 non-hazardous waste has been restated due to a correction in the calculations at one location.

5

In 2019, Sites in or adjacent to protected areas was measured against a stricter definition. The figures of previous years could not be recalculated against the stricter definition, which means there are no relevant figures available for previous years.
