Partially limited comparability due to delayed availability of actual data and corresponding use of prior-year data. Energy consumption of office locations in Austria based on projections from the previous year. Heat consumption of office locations in Sweden based on energy certificate data.
  2. 2)The share of renewable energies is based on the information provided by the individual energy suppliers for each location (market based approach). Alternatively, the German electricity mix according to the BDEW location-based approach was used for Germany.
  3. 3)Other energy sources include heating oil and heat pumps.
  4. 4)From 2021, water consumption and water intensity will also include Swedish office locations. Partially limited comparability due to delayed availability of actual data. Water consumption of office sites in Austria based on projections from the previous year.
