1The activities identified in the previous year were maintained. However, the methodology for determining corresponding Turnover and CAPEX, changed to accommodate the clarifications of the EU Taxonomy and to improve alignment with the reporting of European peers. The 2023 numbers were revised according for comparability.
2For taxonomy purposes, capex includes also new building lease contracts booked as right of use and remeasurements, in addition to what was reported in FY23.
3Past figures were restated due to change in methodology and for comparison purposes.
4Carbon emissions were adjusted to expand the categories included in the disclosure, using more recent databases and methodology changes.
