Risk Management

The business units of the Dürr Group are exposed to a variety of risks that are inextricably linked with doing business globally.

We view risk management as a central task of the Board of Management, other levels of management, and all employees. This approach to risk management should allow us to identify and limit risks sooner and simultaneously to take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities.

Risk management at Dürr is broken down into four steps:

• identification,
• assessment,
• control,
• and monitoring.

We have developed appropriate tools for each of these steps. These tools include a risk management manual, a Dürr-specific risk profile, and a risk structure sheet for each type of risk. The key tool is regular risk reporting. In addition, the business units keep the Board of Management informed about unexpected risks as they arise by sending internal instant messages. Dürr’s financial controlling and internal control systems are also key elements of consistent, effective risk management. Because a portion of risks lie outside the Board of Management’s influence, even a functioning risk management system cannot completely rule out all risks. In this respect, developments can arise that diverge from the Board of Management’s plans.
