Risik management objectives
Entrepreneurial activity invariably involves taking risks. For MLP, “risk” means the danger of possible losses or lost profits. This danger can be attributable to internal or external factors. Since it will not be possible to eliminate all risks, the objective must be a risk that is commensurate with the expected return. The aim is to identify risks as early as possible in order to react to them quickly and appropriately. MLP’s Group-wide early risk detection and monitoring system is used for the qualified and prompt identification of all major risks, which it then quantifies, aggregates and assesses to form the basis for proactive Group-wide risk management and controlling. This system ensures appropriate identification, assessment, controlling, monitoring and communication of the major risks. Risk management is embedded in the Group’s valuedriven management and planning system. Moreover, the Group’s risk culture is continuously consolidated and efforts are made to communicate information relevant to risk across all business segments.
