Risk management
KONE’s risk management coordinates and develops a systematic assessment of risks and opportunities within core business planning and decision-making processes.
KONE continuously assesses the risks and opportunities related to its business environment, operations and financial performance in order to limit unnecessary or excessive risks. In addition, KONE’s units and functions systematically identify and assess, as part of the strategic planning and budgeting processes, the risks that can threaten the achievement of their business objectives. Key risks are reported to the KONE risk management function, which facilitates the risk management process and consolidates the risk information to the KONE Executive Board. The Executive Board assigns the ownership of identified risk exposures to specific functions or units. The KONE Board of Directors reviews the KONE risk portfolio regularly on the basis of the Executive Board’s assessment.
The KONE Risk Management function is also responsible for administering the global insurance programs. The KONE Treasury function manages financial risks centrally according to the KONE Treasury Policy.
