1)

Only includes locations with more than 500 m2 of office space; this does not apply to any location in the Sweden region. Comparability restricted in some cases due to data availability; the location on Berlin-Rankestrasse has been included in the data since 2019.

2)

The share of renewable energy sources relates primarily to individual energy suppliers’ disclosures at each location (market-based approach). In rare cases there was no information from the suppliers and we had to apply the German electricity mix in accordance with BDEW (location-based approach).

1)

Comparability of the waste volume for the years from 2017 to 2019 is limited because the number of sites included has increased. Only locations with over 500 m2 of office space are included; this does not apply to any location in the Sweden region.

2)

Increased waste volume in the Austria region due to preparatory measures for relocation to new corporate headquarters.

3)

Other waste includes bulk waste, wood, iron and steel.
