* Independent Limited Assurance. See Assurance Statement KPMG. The assurance covers the total Scope 1 and 2 emissions, not Scope 1 and 2 emissions per region.

a The renewable share relates exclusively to electricity (and not to total energy consumption)

b Number of employees at the end of the reporting period.

c Total 1441 employees, excl. Board (7 members)

d The increase in the headcount in 2023 is due to the increase in temporary employees (601), mainly in the USA

  1. EMISSIONS
    Scope 1 Direct emissions:
    Direct greenhouse gas emissions come from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, e.g. emissions from heating systems, the vehicle fleet, etc.

    Scope 2 Indirect emissions:
    Scope 2 comprises the greenhouse gas emissions from purchased electricity consumed by the company.

    Location-based (emission factor):
    This approach quantifies emissions on the basis of activity data and local or national grid factors, i.e. the average emission factors for a specific geographical region.

    Market-based (emission factor):
    Market-based figures refer to the emission factors of the electricity supplier or an individual electricity product.
