Risk Management

ENOC has adopted an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to address the full spectrum of risks that face our business. The integrated, structured and disciplined approach to risk management ensures that potential risks that may adversely impact our strategic efforts will be responded to quickly and positively. Meanwhile, opportunities that could provide avenues of growth and development are channelled back into the strategy and objective-setting process.

Additionally, in view of the current economic scenario and competitive environment, a cohesive approach to risk management ensures that resources are channelled to address key strategic, operational and financial risk in the most effective and efficient manner.

Everyone has a role to play in the group's ERM. This entails understanding of the risks and opportunities facing our businesses, assessing exposure and taking action to effectively respond in order to preserve and maximise value.
