1 Definition of “abroad” in accordance with Notes to the 2024 Group annual financial statements, Note 6.6, Geographical information.
2 The net costs of 363 million francs for the universal service obligation (2023: 268 million francs; 2022: 260 million francs; 2021: 257 million francs; 2020: 231 million francs) are included in economic value added. See the definition of net costs on page 23.
3 The figures up to and including 2021 include the headcount from the sold business unit Swiss Post Solutions.
4 The definition of rural municipalities has been adjusted in accordance with the new data collection from 2022 und retroactively adapted for 2021. It is based on the SECO Ordinance on Regional Policy. The figure for 2020 is not comparable with the figures from 2021 to 2024.
5 Until 2020, the minimum salary under the Swiss Post collective employment contract for an 18-year-old employee who has not completed vocational training was reported. As of 2021, the minimum salary for remote municipalities (region D) is now reported.
6 The figure for 2023 has been adjusted (restatement of provisional prior-year figure). The figure for 2024 is provisional. The definitive figure will follow in the subsequent year based on possible retroactive adjustments in long-term absences (as per the social security calculation system and in line with the SFSO).
7 The continuation of the employment relationship for employees with long-term absences varies according to the company and sector. In order to make a comparison possible with the data used by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (SFSO) and other companies in Switzerland, this calculation takes account of the absences of full-time employees for a period up to a maximum of six months.The figure for 2020 was not adjusted in line with this definition and is not comparable with the figures from 2021 to 2024.
8 The figures from 2020 to 2022 have been adjusted.
9 The base year 2021 and the years 2022 and 2023 were recalculated retroactively in the event of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries or changes in data quality. No comparable figures are available for the year 2020.
