Additional Information
As of July 2022 we have transferred the Trademark Licenses form FSC AC to FSC IC. Therefore, FSC IC now also receives the License Fee for the trademarks use from FSC GD. This runs under Asset Management and is still part of the Not for Profit Business. The most recent closed financial year is 2024. The financial year 2025 is currently ongoing and the annual audit has not yet been completed. Although the financial year 2026 has formally started as of January 2026, the current applicable financial year for reporting purposes is 2025, as it has not yet been closed.
