Risk Management Committee
The
main role of the Risk Management Committee is to ensure
business continuity. To do so, the Committee identifies
and reviews any potential risk we may face as a company
and oversees the implementation of measures to counter
those risks. The Committee is also responsible for
developing consistent and comprehensive risk management
plans and strategies aligned with the business
objectives.
The Risk Management Committee is
led by France Hanniet, our Chief Governance, Risk and
Compliance Officer, and is made up of the SBFE Executive
Committee members, with the support of SBFE Risk
Management team. The SBFE Risk Management Committee
reports directly to the Suntory Beverage & Food Risk
Committee in Japan.
Ethical & Compliance Committee
SBFE
has also set up an Ethical and Compliance Committee, led
by the Chief Legal Officer and made up of the SBFE
Executive Committee and members of the Risk &
Compliance department of Suntory in
Japan.
The role of the Ethical and
Compliance Committee is to be the main decision-maker in
compliance matters, like anti-bribery and corruption
regulation and GDPR programs. It’s also responsible for
overseeing and monitoring the development and
implementation of legal compliance programs across SBFE
companies.
