  • 1 The net CO2 emissions figure for 2020 has been recalculated using the most recent emission factors (2020).
  • 2 The scope of the KPI comprises primary assets: low-voltage (LS) & medium-voltage (MS) cables, gas pipes, distribution and power transformers, and legacy and smart electricity & gas meters.
  • 3 The percentage of materials sourced through circular procurement is calculated based on an updated method. The method uses the recycled and recyclable percentages per material type as provided by the supplier. If this percentage is higher than the validated percentage, the validated percentage is used instead. See Supply chain responsibility and circular procurement. When raw material passports are used, the circularly sourced material is assessed at 40% (2020: 44%).
