The Company is committed to embedding risk management practices to support the achievement of business objectives

and fulfil corporate governance obligations. The Board is responsible for reviewing and overseeing the risk management and

process and procedures. The Audit Committee provides advice and assistance to the Board in meeting that responsibility and

the role of the former in relation thereto is described in the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control of this Annual

The Group has an enterprise risk management framework which is designed to provide a sound framework for managing the

material risks of conducting business. The framework sets out the standards and processes for identifying, monitoring and

reporting of risks impacting the success of strategic objectives and operating plans.
