Significant events
- “The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as heightened conflicts in the Middle East, continue to contribute to elevated levels of political instability and uncertainty worldwide. Fuel prices (gas, electricity and oil derived products) have fallen back from the particularly high levels seen in 2022, though they remain higher than pre-conflict levels.”
- “The climate agenda has become the climate crisis: public concern for the environment has never been greater, and government focus at all levels internationally, nationally and locally has shifted significantly. In particular, the UK has committed to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 (2045 in Scotland), and new laws will be taking shape under the newly elected UK Government, including the Great British Energy Bill.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
