Although page 76 of the Sustainable development report of 2105 states that "No significant environmental fines" were incurred in 2015, the company defines significant fines as those valued at over US$ 100,000, so it is possible that smaller fines were paid. The 2015 Annual Financial Statements do not reflect any environmental fines being paid, but do make mention of contingencies for groundwater pollution and deep groundwater pollution on pages 127-128 (Notes to the AFS). No reliable estimate can be made for either of these obligations, despite studies to assess the impact.
