Sustainability governance 

A successful integration and effective management of sustainability requires a committed leadership and clear sustainability governance principles, underpinned by clear direction and decision-making processes.

Risk management

We manage Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) criteria as a risk

The management approach to our material issues describes the business risks and opportunities related to our most important material issues. The identified ESG risks are incorporated in the company’s Enterprise Risk Management process, and assessed and monitored through the Audit and Risk Committee. From 2022 onwards, climate risks and opportunities will be reported following the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
