1 Normalized figure. See the section “One-off item in 2017 – non-recurring in 2018” on page 37 of the Financial Report.

2 Factor = average remuneration paid to Members of Executive Management vs. average employee salary.

3 The rise in CO2 efficiency is measured as the change in CO2 equivalents per core service in the year under review compared with the base year. Each core service is defined by unit (consignment, transaction, passenger kilometre, kilometre, full-time equivalent etc.).

4 The prior-year figures for CO2 have been adjusted based on updated emission factors.

5 Figures have been adjusted (see Notes to Group annual financial statements in the Financial Report 2018, Note 2, Basis of accounting, Accounting changes).
