What risk management is about
At DSM, clear structures and transparent business practices are what risk management is about. The goal is the maximum integration of DSM’s risk management system in the normal business processes. The purpose of the risk management system is to monitor and ensure:
- the extent to which the company’s strategic and operational objectives are being achieved is understood;
- the company’s reporting is reliable;
- the company complies with all relevant laws and regulations.
The Managing Board is responsible for risk management in the company. With the support of the Corporate Risk Office, the Board has designed and implemented a risk management system and organization. This system is documented in the DSM risk management policy, the DSM Code of Business Conduct, DSM policies in functional areas and the DSM Corporate Requirements and Directives.
