6) Response rate of suppliers surveyed on the use of conflict minerals as defined under the Responsible Minerals Initiative. 2020 value checked in interim status in December 2020. 2019 figure adjusted compared to Sustainability Report 2019 in accordance with the regular survey period. Lower response rate in 2020 due to twice as many suppliers surveyed.
