Risk Management

By implementing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), we hope to improve and formalise risk management procedures at the corporate level, reduce risks in a planned and systematic way, and increase the trust of our wide range of stakeholders. The Risk Management Committee is the driving force behind the ERM framework and monitors its effectiveness. It keeps track of the enterprise risk management process' overall efficacy. By approving roles and duties for all stakeholders, the Board of Directors has established the expectations for ERM. Additionally, it keeps in close contact with the Central Risk Office for major adjustments and crucial business decisions. The Central Risk Office, which is now supervised by the CFO, is in charge of enabling the creation, implementation, and monitoring of risk management across the organisation. Each unit and business division are in charge of determining the likely hazards in its particular field of activity, which are subsequently escalated to management. Owners of risk and mitigation are in charge of overall ERM accountability.

Stakeholder Engagement

At CTIL, we see our stakeholders as allies in the process of generating long-term value. Therefore, achieving our strategic goals depends on effective and continuous stakeholder involvement. With an inclusive and integrated process, we aim to strike a balance between the needs, interests, and expectations of the business and those of our stakeholders.

In accordance with the board-endorsed strategy on stakeholder engagement, CTIL has developed an organised structure for drawing in with its stakeholders and cultivating relationship with each one of them. The Company’s approach is moored on the standards of materiality, fulfilment, and responsiveness. CTIL’s stakeholder identification and engagement strategy has evolved over the years, through continuous inputs from board members, employees, and other stakeholders.
