From Fragmentation to Integration: Establishing an Enterprise-Wide Risk Register
In response to the increasing complexity of risks and the need for a more coordinated and transparent approach, the company developed and implemented an enterprise-wide Risk Register, bringing together all risk categories under a common framework.
Prior to this initiative, risk information was maintained across different functions, often using different methodologies and levels of detail. This resulted in limited comparability and reduced visibility at an enterprise level. The introduction of a single, unified Risk Register addressed these challenges by consolidating all risks — including insurance, financial, operational, compliance, cyber/information security (CISO), HR and outsourcing risks — into one structured framework.
A key element of the initiative was the harmonisation of risk taxonomy, assessment criteria and scoring methodology across the organisation. This enabled all functions to assess risks using common definitions and metrics, improving consistency and allowing meaningful aggregation and prioritisation of risks. The framework is aligned with the company’s Risk Appetite and is used as a key input into the ORSA process, strengthening the link between risk management and strategic decision-making.
The implementation was carried out through close collaboration between Risk Management, Compliance, IT/CISO, HR, Audit and business functions. This approach enhanced ownership of risks across the organisation and reduced fragmentation in risk assessments. Regular workshops and discussions supported a shared understanding of risk and facilitated a more coordinated approach.
The integrated Risk Register is now actively used in management and Board discussions, providing a clear and consolidated view of the company’s top risks at any given time. It allows senior management to identify priorities at a glance, understand interdependencies between risks and focus on the most critical areas.
The initiative has led to stronger collaboration between functions, as different departments now operate under a common framework and share a more aligned view of risks. It has also improved the quality and consistency of risk information, reduced duplication of effort and enabled more efficient and timely risk reporting.
In addition, the company has strengthened its ability to identify and monitor emerging risks, responding in a more structured and forward-looking manner. This has contributed to improved transparency towards senior management and better support for decision-making.
Beyond the technical implementation, the initiative has supported the development of a more risk-aware culture, where risk considerations are increasingly embedded in day-to-day activities across the organisation.
