Managing risk
As a global, science-led biopharmaceutical
business, we face a diverse range of
risks and uncertainties. These could
adversely affect our business. Our
approach to risk management is therefore
designed to encourage clear decision
making on which risks we take and how
we manage these risks. Fundamental to
this process is a sound understanding
of every risk’s potential strategic,
commercial, financial, compliance,
legal and reputational implications.
We work to ensure that we have effective
risk management processes in place to
support the delivery of our strategic
priorities. This enables us to meet the
expectations of our stakeholders and
upholds our Values. We monitor our
business activities and external and internal
environments for new, emerging and
changing risks to ensure that these are
managed appropriately.
The Board believes that existing robust
processes and clear accountabilities, as
described below, provide it with adequate
information on the Principal Risks and
uncertainties we face
