To meet the growing interest of our stakeholders in comparable sustainability information, we have been publishing a Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Index in our CR report since 2021. In this context, we apply the SASB standard for the Telecommunication Services industry.
In the SASB Index, we explain how we address the sector-specific SASB criteria and refer to relevant content in our sustainability communications. In addition, we reference the relevant SASB criteria at the appropriate points in the Deep Dive sections of this report.
