Sustainability Focus and Risk Mitigation​

The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report identified several material issues that present risks or opportunities to the business, demonstrating a continuous focus on operational excellence and ethical conduct.

Material Risks Identified:

• Cyber security and Data Privacy (Risk): The increasing digitalization of operations exposes the company to cyber-attacks and data breaches. Mitigation measures include implementing information security controls such as firewalls, periodic vulnerability assessments, and access controls. Potential financial implication includes business interruption and reputational damage.
• Human Capital Management (Risk): Maintaining skilled talent is critical for growth. The response involves focusing on employee engagement, performance management, and providing competitive compensation structures. The risk suggests that failure to retain talent could negatively affect business performance due to increased recruitment costs.

The company also recognized opportunities in Innovation and Digital Transformation, committing to investments in technology-driven solutions to enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency. Furthermore, the focus on Sustainable Products and Responsible Sourcing is a key opportunity for brand strengthening.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Compliance​
