Note: Data from previous periods have been recalculated in those cases that have been possible to make the data comparable with those disclosed in 2020
(1) In 2020, 97.6% was non-hazardous waste (much of it from land extraction) of which 85.9% was recycled, reused or exploited.
(2) In 2020, and retroactively, the details of the reported data has been improved both at the scope level and at the extraction/discharge level, making the 2020 data not comparable to 2015 and the 2015 baseline not able to be recalculated. For these details and trends, see the table in section 5.1.2.
(3) In 2018, the ACS Group approved a specific Code for Business Partners which is of mandatory compliance in the relationship with ACS, with which the current compliance is considered to be 100%
(4) The decrease in the indicator is due to the increase in activity in North America where this type of certification is less used. A way to report the quality efforts of these areas of activity is being sought after.
(5) The ratio is changed to the number of surveys conducted to surveys received to better reflect the operational management of this indicator.
(6) Scope of data in 2020, 26.4% of revenues.
