Risk Management System
Austrian Post operates a comprehensive riskmanagement system integrating all business units and subsidiaries. This risk management system complies with the COSO standard “Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework” in the version dated June 2017. The objective of risk management is to identify risks at an early stage and to analyse and evaluate them before going on to take appropriate measures designed to ensure that the company meets its business targets. Risks are identified, evaluated, monitored and documented in their overall context by a Group-wide risk management system in accordance with uniform principles. The Management Board defines the risk strategy and policy of the companyand sets out a framework for the risk management system.
