None of these investments is individually significant in Fiscal 2023.

The main acquisitions made during Fiscal 2023 are indicated in notes 3.1 “Business combinations” and 6.1 “Goodwill” to the consolidated financial statements.

A detailed description of changes in investments is provided in notes 4.4, 6.2 and 6.3 of the consolidated financial statements.
