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). 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. See notes 26 and 32 for additional details about the Group’s derivatives.
