1) In 2024, Fortum updated the GHG inventory process to improve its accuracy and completeness and recalculated GHG emissions for 2023, which decreased total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 0.2 Mt CO2-eq.
2) Year 2023 figure has been recalculated to align with changes in the calculation process, which decreased annual specific CO2 emissions for energy production and power generation by 1 gCO2/kWh.
3) In 2023 and onwards, figures exclude the recycling and waste business divested in November 2024.
