- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Directors and the UK&I group are paying close attention to the Middle East conflict that commenced in late February 2026 and its potential implications for the business. Given the associated risks to global supply chains and inflationary pressures, management actively monitors and assesses these risks to identify vulnerabilities in sourcing critical materials, and distributing recyclate products, as well as develop appropriate mitigation strategies.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
