We manage our risk profile via a rigorous, fully integrated, enterprise risk management (ERM) framework based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) guidelines and following the guiding principles of ISO 31000. |

It is also an effective tool for executive oversight of managing risks. |
The framework is facilitated by our risk management officer, who reports to the general counsel. |
Additionally, the risk management officer reports directly to the board on all enterprise risks and respective action plans at least twice a year and is actively supported by the board and executive leadership team (ELT). |
