Reporting boundary

The reporting boundary for the preparation of the Sustainability Report/NFS takes into consideration:

  • all of the fully consolidated companies of Iren Group, with the exception of those in liquidation as at 31/12/2021, inactive, sold or destined to be transferred;
  • the qualitative and quantitative information for certain companies not fully consolidated (indicated in grey italics in the table below) are given separately in the “Companies Outside the reporting boundary” section (see page 24). They are considered significant due to the equity interest held, the business managed and governance.

The following sociogram shows the reporting boundary adopted in this document.
