This project has enabled the integration of risk management (including ESG risks) and opportunities into strategic decision-making and the company\u2019s day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What motivated Teknia to implement a formal corporate risk management system?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The current context, marked by greater uncertainty, accelerating change and an increasingly demanding ESG regulatory environment, highlighted the need to take a further step. The aim was to evolve towards a formal, structured and consistent system that would provide a comprehensive view of corporate risks and ensure their proper integration into the Group\u2019s governance and strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, our clients were demanding clearer, shared and comparable information on the company\u2019s main risks and how they were being managed. Added to this is the growing importance of regulatory frameworks such as the CSRD and the CSDDD, as well as the importance that stakeholders now attach to risk management and good corporate governance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How was the process of identifying and prioritising the company\u2019s risks carried out? Which areas were involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The process was designed from the outset as a corporate, cross-functional and participatory exercise. Risks were identified using a bottom-up approach, directly involving the various functional areas and the individuals responsible for the risks, who are best placed to understand the processes and risks associated with their day-to-day activities.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this work, a risk catalogue was drawn up, which was subsequently assessed using standardised criteria of probability and impact, taking into account financial, operational, regulatory and reputational factors. This assessment enabled a distinction to be made between inherent risk and residual risk and allowed the most relevant risks to be prioritised, resulting in a Top 15 list of risks.<\/p>\n<p>The process was complemented by a top-down approach, with the governing bodies, including the Sustainability Committee, reviewing the results to ensure consistency with the Group\u2019s strategy and business objectives. This dual approach has been key to achieving a robust, consensus-based result that is aligned with Teknia\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Following the analysis, what role do ESG risks play in Teknia\u2019s management?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ESG risks are now fully integrated into Teknia\u2019s overall risk management framework, not as a separate category, but linked to strategic, operational and compliance risks.<\/p>\n<p>Issues such as regulatory compliance in sustainability, supply chain management, the climate transition, health and safety, and corporate reputation are analysed in a structured manner and with the same level of rigour as any other corporate risk. This approach allows for a better understanding of the interdependencies between financial, operational and ESG risks, and enables more informed decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the system facilitates the monitoring of these risks through indicators and links them to specific action plans, thereby reinforcing their ongoing management and monitoring by senior management and governing bodies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which emerging risks do you believe are still not receiving the necessary attention from companies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In general, many organisations still underestimate certain emerging ESG risks, particularly those arising from rapid regulatory developments in sustainability, supply chain traceability and due diligence, or the indirect impacts of climate change on operations and suppliers, amongst others. Data management is also becoming increasingly important, both in terms of the quality and reliability of the information reported and in terms of cybersecurity and data protection, as well as the growing global conflicts and tensions affecting industrial companies such as Teknia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What changes or improvements are expected from the implementation of the system within Teknia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The implementation of the system represents a qualitative shift in how we understand and manage risks and opportunities. We expect greater foresight, a reduction in unforeseen events and an improved balance between assumed risks, controls and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the system helps to standardise criteria, clarify responsibilities and improve internal communication regarding risks, facilitating more coordinated and efficient management. In the medium term, this also strengthens Teknia\u2019s ability to respond to audits, regulatory requirements and the expectations of clients and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What role does internal culture play in risk management and how do the different departments contribute?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Internal culture is a key element. A risk management system only works if it is underpinned by a culture of collaboration and accountability, in which people understand that managing risks is not just an obligation, but a tool to protect and strengthen the business.<\/p>\n<p>At Teknia, the various departments have actively participated in identifying, assessing and monitoring risks and opportunities within their remit, with support and coordination from the sustainability and strategy department. This involvement reinforces a sense of shared responsibility and helps ensure that risk management is part of the company\u2019s day-to-day operations, rather than a one-off or purely formal exercise. For this reason, those responsible for risk management have also been trained so that they are able to update and manage the various associated tasks on an annual basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been key to the project\u2019s success?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, the genuine involvement of the departments and individuals responsible for risk, as well as the commitment of the governing bodies. The practical approach, methodological clarity and collaborative work have enabled the implementation of a system aligned with Teknia\u2019s reality and ready to evolve with the company and the sector.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 100px;\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-between align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 text-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium aligncenter\" style=\"width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1; object-fit: cover; height: auto; border-radius: 50%; max-width: 300px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tekniagroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/tekstories-chemida-vera.jpg\" alt=\"Chemida Vera S\u00e1nchez\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 text-left\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n<blockquote style=\"border-color: var(--secondary); font-size: 1.1em;\"><p><em>\u201cThe implementation of the system represents a qualitative shift in the way risks and opportunities are understood and managed.
