- Increase in GHG emissions (Scope 3) by 7.8% compared to FY2019 due to increased emissions from purchased goods and services
- Increase in water intake by 1% compared to FY2022 due to factors such as an upturn in the office attendance rate, an expansion of business activities and a water leak
- Shortfall in achieving targets for several business activity indicators in FY2023
