The primary goals of Apetit Group are to clearly improve the company’s profitability and competitiveness and ensure the financial position of the company. The purpose of the company’s risk management is to support the achievement of these goals. Risk management is part of corporate governance. It is a systematic tool for the Board of Directors and operative management, enabling them to monitor and assess the achievement of the goals and the threats and opportunities that affect the company’s operations.
Another aim of Apetit Group’s risk management is to assess risks in the operating environment in a predictive manner. Apetit Group classifies risks into strategic, operative and financial risks and risk events.
Risks are factors that threaten the achievement of the company’s goals. Risks are measured on the basis of their effects and likelihood.
Risk management is a continuous process and a permanent part of the company’s strategic process, operative planning and operations monitoring. Risk management is also part of the internal monitoring system.
From the company’s point of view, risks can be seen as uncertainties, threats or opportunities. Traditionally, risks are defined as a threat of loss or, in other words, the likelihood of an unwanted event. However, a certain amount of risk is inherent in business, which means that justified risk-taking is the prerequisite of achieving business goals.
The aim of risk management is to recognise and assess risks systematically and manage them cost-efficiently by
The Board of Directors or the Audit Committee of Apetit Group monitors the Group’s risk management process and ensures that it works efficiently and is comprehensive, approves the level of the risk management policy, risk bearing and risk tolerance, and re-assesses these at least annually as part of the company’s strategy definition and goal setting.
The Group CEO is responsible for the achievement of the set goals, the monitoring of risks related to the goals and the risk management process by allocating sufficient resources to risk management and reviewing and approving the risk management principles. The Group CFO is responsible for the continuous development of the risk management process by specifying the operating principles and organising the risk management tasks. The CFO also defines the reporting needs in risk management and assesses the results of risk reporting.
Business units and Group Functions recognise and assess risks in their respective areas of responsibility. The leaders of business units and Group Functions plan and implement risk management and monitoring measures and report on risks in their areas of responsibility, following the agreed instructions and timetables.
