The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team operates at the Group level and closely collaborates with regional risk management teams. The team is responsible for maintaining and further developing IMC’s ERM framework, which offers a comprehensive view of the company’s risk profile, risk appetite, and the key controls in place to manage risks within that appetite.
The ERM framework encompasses all of IMC’s major risk categories:
- Market, Credit, and Liquidity Risk
- Operational Risk
- Regulatory Risk
- Information Security Risk
Moreover, ERM monitors companywide standards on controls and processes and moreover provides aggregated risk reporting across the organization. ERM provides support, advice and counsel to the CRO, Management Board and Supervisory Board on (strategic) risk topics, as well as the regional entities and the local teams.
