On a strategic level, Fortaco categorizes risks in five categories

Effective risk management strategies at Fortaco
Each identified risk is analyzed based on its probability of occurrence and business impact.
Risk management is integrated in Fortaco’s daily operations and business management, and it is performed on all organization levels. Each Fortaco’s employee is responsible for identifying and managing risks in the area of his/her responsibility.
Realized risk reporting is managed through the Risk Classification and Elimination (RCE) process. The objective of RCE is to simplify the identification of issues, classify their seriousness and clarify the progress reporting. The RCE process is applied to safety, quality, delivery, cost, and financials, as well as business continuity issues. Supervisory Board has the accountability to stakeholders for organization oversight.
Internal audit
Internal audit evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of Fortaco risk management, internal control, and governance processes. Fortaco utilizes an external service provider to conduct the internal audit activities.
