The Corporation uses the Ernst and Young risk management rating tool that categorises risks according to business continuity, environment, financial and occupational health and safety. Each of the risks are then assessed using the following criteria: Consequence: Insignificant, Minor, Moderate, Major and Catastrophic and Likelihood: Almost certain, likely, possible, unlikely and rare.

The Corporation has developed: a risk management policy; definition of the board’s risk tolerance; risk evaluation framework; definition and classification of risks; definition of ‘key risks’ to the business; shared understanding of the risks that matter and ‘risk map’; key risk register (reviewed by senior staff and approved by the Board); and key risk reporting format and review process for corporate risks as key components of its enterprise risk management system.

There are currently 50 items on the Corporation’s Corporate Risk Register that are regularly monitored by the board. It would be inappropriate to detail these risks as they are considered commercial-in-confidence.
