All companies were given the opportunity to provide feedback to identify any errors or provide new publicly available information where relevant, which was then incorporated into their assessment.

In all cases, this figure is based on information that we identified in the public domain over the course of the assessment process. If there is evidence that the company shows some degree of state involvement but the extent of this ownership is not clear from publicly available information, the figure will display as ‘Unknown’.
