1) Newly introduced category from 2020 survey.
2) An audit or verification of supplier does not take place systematically; before the connection, all suppliers are obliged to meet standards by the Business Partner Code.
3) Due to the integration of Hembla and further restructuring, supplier management in Sweden is being reorganised. This leads to the high number of "new" suppliers. An evaluation of the new suppliers is not possible at this point in time, therefore the Swedish contract partners are not included in the evaluation of the new suppliers.
4) Related to the new suppliers from Germany and Austria.
