Greenhouse gases included in the calculation: CO2 equivalents (greenhouse gases regulated by the Kyoto Protocol: CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6, HFCs).

Sources of emission factors: GEMIS 4.95, Defra, German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, and Swedenergy (a Swedish charitable organization).

1)

Austria and Sweden (Victoria Park) included for the first time as of 2019.

2)

The drop in the CO2 reductions achieved by the heating program in 2019 is due to a lower number of refurbishment measures and, as a result, a drop in the associated CO2 reductions.

3)

The change in carbon emissions (absolute and like-for-like) for coal is due to the use of a different emissions factor for 2019.

4)

Condominium buildings (ownership rate ≤ 50%), calculated separately for the first time in 2018.

5)

Contains the fuel and energy-related emissions of the entire portfolio (i.e., including the share of condominiums).

Greenhouse gases included in the calculation: CO2 equivalents (greenhouse gases regulated by the Kyoto Protocol: CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6, HFCs).

Sources of emission factors: GEMIS 4.95, German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Deutsche Bahn, BCD Travel GHG Protocol, Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology

1)

As with other business processes, only office space covering a usable area of more than 500 m2 is taken into account. None of the office premises in the Sweden region meet this criterion.

2)

Only stationary source emissions taken into account.

3)

For locations in the Austria region: 100% green electricity.

4)

Due to missing supplier disclosures/certificates, we are not able to disclose Scope 2 emissions for district heating in accordance with the market-based method.

5)

Data on business trips made using employees’ own vehicles, for which employees received remuneration, was collected for the first time in 2018.
