A uniform corporation-wide risk management system is in place in order to ensure that risks are detected in time, their causes analyzed, and that the risks are assessed and avoided or at least minimized. It regulates the recording, assessment, documentation, and reporting of risks and is integrated into the company’s strategy, planning, and budgeting processes. The risk management system, which complies fully with the corporate governance principles of the Continental Corporation and with statutory requirements, is included in the annual audit.
