Program, the business units and the corporate functions address
their short, medium and long terms risks. The Audit Committee
has an additional oversight on the financial risks and controls. Our
risk management approach helps the Board and Management
to understand the risks associated with the adopted strategy,
periodically assess if the strategy is aligned with our risk appetite and
understand how the chosen strategy could affect the Company's
risk profile, specifically the types and amount of risk to which the
