The identified risks are evaluated individually on a basis of probability of occurrence and extent of damages and are then presented in a risk matrix. Appropriate measures are defined for the individual risks. A systematic survey and update of the risks is carried out once a year. The risk situation and the implementation of the defined measures are monitored. The Board of Directors of BVZ Holding AG and the Boards of Directors of the Group’s companies review the risk management at least once a year.
