LINKED TO SUSTAINABILITY:

Risk management is integrated into the internal

processes of the management team and the Group by

means of guidelines and work procedures. Continuity

planning is carried out at Group level, and risks are

also identified and managed on an ongoing basis

in the Group’s various units, by means of the proce-

dures and systematic risk assessments performed

in the various risk areas. Measures are then imple-

mented in each area to minimise the likelihood and

consequences of an incident.
