About our data

The statistics in this report reflect the complaints we received, accepted and concluded this fiscal year, from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025. The complaints accepted or concluded after July 31, 2025 will be reported in subsequent Annual Reports.

NOTE:  A single complaint may raise more than one issue, so the number of issues is higher than the number of complaints. To ensure accuracy, we audit the data throughout the year. Percentages are rounded for clarity, which means totals in some tables may not add up to 100%.
