Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans
As discussed in Note 1C, we adopted a change in accounting principle to a more preferable policy under U.S. GAAP to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of pension and postretirement plans. This change has been applied to all pension and postretirement plans on a retrospective basis for all prior periods presented.
The following summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost/(credit), including in 2020 costs/(credits) reported as part of discontinued operations:
