Government grants
Government grants that relate to an expense item, are recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, which the grants are intended to compensate, are expensed.
Income from sale of HBE certificates
The Group sells HBE certificates to companies that are required to compensate their use of
non-green
energy through a brokerage. These certificates are issued by the government and therefore IAS 20
Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance
is applicable.
