Duni has an environmental policy and has implemented control systems which assist Duni in ensuring compliance with environmental legislation. Duni considers the existing operations and production plants to fulfill in all essential respects requirements stipulated in environmental legislation and provisions which extend to Duni. However, Duni cannot guarantee that currently unknown obligations, for example cleanup or restoration of property owned or previously owned by Duni, cannot arise in the future. Discussion are taking place with responsible authorities concerning allocation of responsibility and technical investigation of suspected soil contamination on two properties owned by Duni AB.

Through an amalgamated company which is no longer owned by the Group, Duni AB has become a party to a preliminary investigation concerning suspected soil contamination. Duni has assessed that, as of the balance sheet date, it is not possible to calculate the amount of any possible costs if, and in such case, when, Duni possibly becomes liable to make payment.

No significant liabilities are expected to rise as a consequence of any of the above types of contingencies.
