Global Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a sub function of Group Risk and Compliance. The ERM function will support the integration of our Group Framework and Appetite Management, and have broad oversight of the Risk Taxonomy. While the core risks of the bank remain consistent compared to a few years ago, the way in which they manifest, the speed to crystallisation and the connection points between them have become increasingly complex. It is therefore essential that we are equipped with the knowledge to navigate the dynamic and interconnected risk landscape of today. The objective of enterprise risk management is to develop a holistic, portfolio view of the most significant risks to the achievement of the Group’s most important objectives.
