The recoverability of trade accounts receivable is regularly reviewed, and the credit quality of new customers is thoroughly assessed. Due to the large and heterogeneous customer base, the credit risk from individual customers of the group is limited. The allowance for doubtful trade accounts receivable is based on expected credit losses by country and by division. These are based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and are adjusted for forward-looking information such as development of gross domestic product (GDP).
