Effective risk management helps us manage the impact of events and attain business objectives. We ensure this with our robust risk management framework and a holistic approach of continually identifying, monitoring, evaluating, and managing risks. Amidst rising geopolitical turbulence and global supply chain issues, we are increasing our agility to tackle emerging risks and capitalize on new opportunities.
We have a well-defined framework and procedures for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), prepared under the supervision of the Executive Board. These cover risks of information security, operations, delivery, and key support functions. The procedures include risk identification, analysis, response, tracking, management discussion, and mitigation.
Our respective functions and project teams maintain risk registries, which are centrally reviewed and periodically monitored by compliance and governance teams responsible for specific risk areas. Additionally, our defined risk appetite reflects the broader risk levels we can assume, manage, and incorporate into our strategy.
We ensure effective ERM through a robust governance mechanism involving the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Chief Information Officer (CIO), and the Engineering and Business Excellence (EBE) team, who work together with the Executive Board.
