2 Figures for 2024 were externally audited by Ernst & Young AG to obtain limited assurance regarding the compliance of the reported information with the GRI Standards
3 For an explanation of significant deviations from the figures published in the 2023 Annual Report and of the restatements performed, see the section "Basis of calculations and definitions" (Restatements)
4 Steam and district cooling is not procured by Comet and is therefore not included in the data presented
5 Calculated in accordance with the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol guidelines. Scope 1: GHG emissions from own sources, e.g., boilers and fuels. Scope 2: GHG emissions from the production of electricity and district heating. Sources for emission factors: BEIS
6 Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated in accordance with the market-based approach of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Locations with a certificate of origin were calculated using the relative emission factors; other locations were calculated using the residual country mix. Considering only the location-based approach resulted in 5,056 tonnes of CO₂e emissions for Scope 2 in 2024.
