Risk
We have a structured, consistent and continuous risk management process in place across the organization. This Enterprise Risk Management system identifies and prioritizes potential risks to the business, including financial, environmental and societal. These risks are then assessed in terms of probability, severity and status of mitigation plans. The risks identified are reviewed by a senior management officer and additional personnel.
The result is a strategic approach toward risk. By focusing on those issues that can affect how well we achieve our long-term goals, management is able to balance risk and reward appropriately and holistically, strengthening and aligning the interests of management, and employees. And by integrating this understanding into the company’s culture, we help transform risk management from a defensive function into a source of competitive advantage.
Business Continuity
Our business continuity program is aligned with our risk management process. The program’s primary objective is to support ongoing contingency planning to evaluate the impact of events that may adversely affect customers, assets, or employees. We have established processes to support the continuity of our businesses during times of crisis. With a core staff and engagement by our business units, we are able to respond appropriately as events arise. We also train our employees, run simulation exercises and evaluate our program each year for potential improvements.
