Risk Management

As the complexity of the business environment and society increases, so does the number of unanticipated risks and new business opportunities. To ensure sustainable growth, a system capable of preventing and managing risks in advance is necessary. Acknowledging risk management as a crucial management activity, Hyosung Heavy Industries has established a risk management system to minimize direct or indirect negative environmental and social impacts resulting from the company's business operations. In order to respond to stakeholders' increased interest in non-financial risks and to fulfill our corporate social responsibilities, we also enhance the management of risks that may arise from non-financial perspectives, such as environmental and social factors, in addition to traditional financial risks.

Risk Management System

Hyosung Heavy Industries identifies and manages market uncertainty and internal and external risks and opportunities with a significant impact on business operations, and we revised relevant process regulations in 2021 to enhance company-wide risk management capabilities. Hyosung classifies risks into financial and non-financial (business continuity and management) and defines major risks based on their impact and likelihood. For major risks, we establish a preventive system to enable preemptive response by identifying the cause of occurrence in advance. We update the risk management status annually and determine if the objectives of the countermeasures for major risks have been met.

Risk Management Organization

The Management Committee and ESG Management Promotion Committee under the BoD manage risk agendas and discuss major risks and responses. The ESG Management Promotion Committee includes the CEO appoints the CEO as the chairperson and risk manager, as well as the Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Finance Officer, Chief Administration Officer, PR manager, Director of Changwon Plant Management Division, CPSO (procurement manager in the Power & Industrial Systems division), Power & Industrial Systems CSO, construction planning manager, construction technology manager, and and Construction CSO as members. The Committee manages company-wide financial and non-financial risks. The Finance Office oversees financial risks, which are periodically measured, evaluated, and mitigated in cooperation with business departments within the headquarters and domestic and international subsidiaries. For non-financial risks, we operate company-wide risk management organizations centered on the ESG Management Team, Management Strategy Office, Support Office, Construction CSO, and Power & Industrial Systems CSO under the CEO's direct control, as well as working-level organizations that respond to environment, safety, supply stability, order, on-site, and litigation risk response led by the Director of Changwon Plant Management Division and field supervisors at construction sites.
