*The difference in Data Centre energy is due to FY21 being the first full year of Data Centre reporting being available.  
** The data centre energy usage has increased in FY22 due to acquiring additional space and the associated kWh.  The additional space is required for the technology transformation programme, which is upgrading infrastructure servers with more energy efficient hardware.  Over the long term, this will reduce emissions
