- Robust systems are in place to ensure that management can swiftly assess the situation and take effective countermeasures in the event of an emergency.
Risk Management Framework and Scope
In 2020, Faraday resolved “Risk Management Best Practice Principles” as its framework for guiding risk management. These principles define the company's management objectives, organizational structure, and risk management procedures. They identify risks as four main categories of strategic risks, operational risks, financial risks, and hazard risks.
To maintain risks within acceptable limits, Faraday conducts annual risk assessments. We also develop corresponding management strategies and crisis response plans to minimize operational uncertainties.
Risk Identification
Faraday integrates various potential risks that could impact operations. Through regular risk assessments, we use of a risk matrix diagram to evaluate the frequency and impact of risk events and adopt corresponding risk management strategies based on the risk level.
