21. Other assets and liabilities

Other assets mainly comprise accrued income, prepaid expenses and deferred expenditure but also smaller investments made by the Group (via SIG InnoVentures AG) in early-stage companies to support the development of future packaging solutions (see note 27). Other liabilities include the contingent consideration for Scholle IPN. Moreover, the Group’s derivative assets and liabilities are presented as part of other assets or other liabilities. The derivatives primarily relate to commodity and foreign currency derivatives but also to an interest rate swap and forward interest rate agreements. See notes 26 and 32 for additional details about the Group’s derivatives.
