Finnair operates in a global and highly competitive environment that is sensitive to economic fluctuations. In executing its strategy, Finnair and its operations are exposed to a broad range of risks and opportunities. To exploit value creation opportunities, Finnair is prepared to take and manage risks within the limits of its risk-bearing capacity (rewarded risks).
In relation to reliability of reporting, compliance with laws and regulations, and flight safety matters, Finnair's objective is to minimise risks (unrewarded risks). The purpose of risk management is to provide a systematic approach to the management of rewarded and unrewarded risks in all areas of Finnair's operations.
