The Group categorises risks according to the
likelihood of occurrence and the potential
impact on the Group. The Risk Committee
and the Access Management Team assists the
Chief Financial O昀케cer with the identi昀椀cation
of risks through horizon-scanning sessions.
Potential risks related to existing and future
regulation, reputation and markets, potential
昀椀nancial impacts, and physical climate change
are all considered carefully.
Once identi昀椀ed, risks are prioritised using
a risk matrix approach which assesses the
potential impact on the Group and the
likelihood of occurrence. Risks are assessed
over the short-, medium-, and long-term on
both a gross basis and net basis, i.e. without
considering existing mitigations and then with
existing mitigations, respectively.
