Risk management is paramount among the issues which ENKA prioritizes in all its processes and activities, and the risk-based thinking approach is constantly encouraged by the ENKA Senior Management.

The Risk Management Work Group (“the Work Group”) has been established in line with a decision taken by the company’s Early Identification of Risks Committee (“the Committee”) at its meeting on 28^th November 2017 in order to ensure that the means of risk reduction are specified, and that identified risks are assessed and reviewed. The basic responsibilities of the Work Group include: conducting an effective risk management program throughout the company; determining the principles and methods on which this program is to be based; ensuring the continuous development of risk management as a corporate culture that reaches projects, units and individuals, and making sure that the risk monitoring function is performed effectively.
