  • 1 This is not the complete overview of all metrics in our sustainability statement.
  • 2 Central Services was previously named as Business Services.
  • 3 Figures for 2024/2025 were not available before publication of the annual report; therefore, figures for 2023/2024 have been included. For 4.5% of the population (employees and equity partners), CBS could not determine the country of origin, which should be considered when interpreting these figures.
