7 Environmental data (carbon, energy, water, waste) covers the 12 months from December 2020 to November 2021.
8 We purchase renewable electricity on green tariffs at locations in the UK, Austria and the Netherlands. US Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECS) are applied to electricity consumption in the US. US Green-e certified RECs are also purchased to equal 100% of the electricity consumption outside the US, but we
do not apply any market-based emissions factors on this portion of electricity consumption.
