Disposal provisions
The Company is exposed to certain liabilities when businesses are divested and disposal provisions are created as part of the gain or loss on disposal calculation. Typical costs include pension liabilities, environmental costs, transaction costs and separation costs. Provisions are only established when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The Company reviews its disposal provisions regularly to determine whether they accurately reflect the present obligations of the Company based on the latest available facts.
