Internal Control

BoardOfDirectors

The internal control aim is to provide reasonable assurance that these risks are under control and that objectives will be met.

In this way, in accordance with the applicable standards and regulations, the mechanism contributes to the management of our activities, the effectiveness of our operations and the efficient use of our resources. The proper functioning of the internal control and risk management mechanism is central to the Group’s organization and its management and control activities.

Controls are carried out, for each identified process, by all of the Group’s departments and employees. Overall management of the mechanism falls within the remit of the Executive Committee and the Finance Department who reports to the Audit and Risks Committee and the Board of Directors on the effectiveness of the mechanism in place.

The overall organization of the internal control and risk management mechanism can be presented as follows:

Risk factors by category

For each of the seven categories, risks are identified according to their level of criticality as assessed during the risk mapping process, according to the key below.

Following the update of the risk analysis:

  • Three risk factors are no longer included in the risk map: customer concentration, technological or product obsolescence, and pandemics, as these risk factors are now categorized as moderate.

  • The "Availability of water resources" risk factor has now been assessed as major and is therefore included in the risk map.

  • The risk factor "Disruption of supplier site production" has been integrated into the risk factor "Limited number of suppliers", and therefore no longer appears individually in the risk map.
