Enterprise Risk Management

A phased approach will ensure key risks (R) and opportunities (O) within each sector are identified and treated with to achieve the target risk profile. R&Os are monitored within the operating companies and by the C-suite Executive. The Board is apprised of significant risks within, and emerging risks facing, the Group which may have sector or enterprise-wide impact.
