Swisscom operates a comprehensive and sustainable risk management system. Strategic, credit, market, reputation, business and operational risks are identified by means of an extensive risk assessment system and are managed using an appropriate risk strategy. The risk management system, which falls under the remit of the Finance division, monitors Swisscom's risk profile and is implemented and documented in accordance with internationally recognised standards.

It is made up of the following five elements:

 

  • Risk identification: risks facing Swisscom Ltd and its Group companies are identified in a comprehensive risk analysis conducted once a year by way of workshops and interviews. Each risk is allocated a risk owner. The risk portfolio is reviewed and updated quarterly.
  • Risk assessment: identified risks are assessed according to the probability of their occurrence and their qualitative and quantitative effects in the event of occurrence.
  • Risk strategy: Swisscom pursues a risk strategy which supports its corporate objectives. In principle, risks should only be borne where core competences exist; otherwise they should be avoided or transferred.
  • Implementation of the risk strategy: identified risks are managed in accordance with the risk strategy. Implementation of the risk strategy is subject to a regular review.
  • Reporting: the Board of Directors, Audit Committee and Group Executive Board are informed about risks and their possible effects on a quarterly basis.
