  1. 1)An audit or verification of a supplier does not take place systematically; before the connection, all suppliers with few exceptions are obliged to meet standards by the Business Partner Code. Data for Germany incl. Deutsche Wohnen from reporting year 2023.
  2. 2)The figure includes all suppliers that are actively managed by the purchasing departments in the central procurement process. Suppliers with micro-sales have been cleaned up.
  3. 3)Definition of “local”: home country, i.e. Germany, Austria and Sweden.
  4. 4)Due to the merger of Victoria Park and Hembla to form Victoriahem, as well as further restructuring, supplier management in Sweden was reorganised. An evaluation of new suppliers was not conducted in 2021, therefore Swedish contract partners were not included in the evaluation of new suppliers in 2021.
  5. 5)Change of method for data collection in Sweden.
