Our Mission

Defense in Depth

Business Model Innovation based on Enterprise Risk Management means:

Keeping Risk Level As Low As Reasonable Achievable
Increasing Business Resilience;
Rising Business Value by controlling (1) Risk Cost and by ensuring (2) Business Continuity under adverse circumstances.
Creating Value as a function of risk and return by seeking and exploiting opportunities, preventing avoidable loss events, accepting and owning the right risks to achieve competitive advantage, using risk management savings to fund strategic corporate initiatives.

Creating value by developing a strong innovative risk management means:

 Revenues growth – Customers satisfied with increased security increase purchases based on their desire to trade with a more secure company, as its chances of surviving sudden difficulties improve. As the firm gains relief from its fears of risks, the company can improve long-term and continuous service and this gives more confidence to the clients.
 Sustainable supply chain – Suppliers more willing to offer sales facilities, higher volumes, lower prices, more supplier credit.
 Insurance premium rates diminish – since the residual risks decrease.
 Debt Interest Rates diminish – Creditors appreciate the improved security (this is the main effect of a high credit rating) such as improvement of account receivables, better foreign exchange position,
 Talent Attraction & Retention – Employees would feel better working for a more secure company.
 Equity Growth – investors are willing to buy shares issued by companies, which they trust, are able to control the risks appropriatelly.
