Risk Management
Responsible corporate governance geared around long-term success also encompasses appropriate risk management. The risks associated with the Komax Group’s commercial activities are systematically identified, analyzed, monitored, and managed on an annual basis through an institutionalized risk management function. These risks are amalgamated into thematic groups and prioritized in a risk matrix according to the likelihood of occurrence and the potential to have an impact on the company.
They include general external risks (e. g., pandemic and epidemic risks), operating and financial risks, risks arising in connection with corporate governance and trade compliance, and IT risks.
The Executive Committee bears operational responsibility for risk management. In addition, key individual risks are controlled by process managers who take concrete measures and monitor their implementation.
