The accurate and timely identification, assessment and management of key risks give us a clear understanding of the actions required to achieve our objectives. Key elements of integrated risk management We recognise that risks are inherent to our business Only through adequate risk management can internal stakeholders be effectively supported in making key strategic decisions and implementing our strategy Exposure to risks must be consistent with our risk appetite The Board defines and regularly reviews the acceptable level of exposure to principal and emerging risks. Risks are aligned with risk appetite, taking into consideration the balance between threats and opportunities We are all responsible for managing risks Each business activity carries out risk evaluations to ensure the sound identification, management, monitoring and reporting of risks that could impact the achievement of our goals Risk is analysed through a consistent framework Our risk management methodology is applied to all our operating companies, projects, exploration activities and support areas so that we have a comprehensive view of the uncertainties that could affect us in achieving our strategic goals We are committed to continuous improvement Lessons learned and best practices are incorporated into our procedures to protect and unlock value sustainably Risk management We are aware that not all risks can be completely eliminated and exposure to some risks is necessary in pursuit of our corporate objectives. Mining is, by its nature, a long-term business and as part of the key risks update and evaluation process we identify new or emerging risks which could impact the Company’s sustainability in the long run, even if there is limited information available at the time of the evaluation. Any new or emerging identified risks that could impact long-term strategic objectives are included in the key risk analysis and are reviewed and monitored periodically by the Board. As new information based on research, expert analysis and internal investigations becomes available, suitable controls and action plans are defined and incorporated into the Company’s risk matrix. We identify, assess and manage the risks critical to the Company’s success. Overseeing these risks benefits Antofagasta and protects our business, people and reputation. The risk management process provides reasonable assurance that the relevant risks are recognised and controlled, and the Company achieves its strategic objectives and creates value. Because risks change and are periodically re-evaluated, the risk map shown here represents the position at a specific point in time and the changes that have taken place since 2019. The Board carried out a robust assessment of the Company’s principal and emerging risks during the year, which are set out below with the related preventive and mitigation measures.
