  1. Selected data points in this table of indicators were determined for the years 2023 and 2024 in accordance with the GRI. The respective key figures are labelled with a reference to the corresponding framework. Other indicators are breakdowns of this information. Others follow Vonovia-specific definitions as described in the table.
  2. 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.
  3. 2)The indicators include all suppliers that are actively managed by the purchasing department in the centralized procurement process. Suppliers with sales of less than € 800 are excluded here, as these are considered minor assets.
