1 Our 2019 and 2020 GHG emissions were retroactively recalculated due to improved access to vendor spend data and M&A activity. Consequently, our science-based targets for reducing our GHG emissions were re-submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI) and coverage was re-validated.
2 Renewable electricity percentage is reported based on originally verified electricity consumption values because it is not possible to buy renewable electricity retroactively due to M&A activity; therefore, the 2020 restated verification opinion shows a decrease in percentage renewable electricity.
