2 The data collection methods for indirect emissions (Scope 3) were updated and the emission sources included in the balance sheet were expanded. Changes are due to first time inclusion of purchased goods and services (video productions and IT equipment) and a more detailed recording of emissions from commutes. These changes resulted in a retroactively adjusted data basis for 2019.
