Risk Management
Sodrugestvo Group enforces a risk-aware corporate culture in all decision making.
A ‘no-surprise risk policy’ is the focus of risk management and shall reinforce the group’s control consciousness.
Our risk committee members are seasoned grain industry, trading and business professionals with a wealth of expertise in industrial crushing, grain trading, derivatives and risk management.
Effective decision making in times of high market uncertainty and volatility is key to our success.
Creating value and sustainable results for our stakeholders, maximizing market opportunities, while minimizing business risks is the focus.
To support this commitment, Sodrugestvo’s risk environment is substantially enforced across the group, to achieve high quality risk analysis for all management decisions at all levels within the organization.
The skilled risk teams on local and group level process accurate and timely information, analyze market/price, credit/counterparty, foreign exchange, freight and operational risks, monitor defined risk acceptance thresholds and report to group risk committee members.
To ensure best practice in firmwide processes and risk management, groupwide integrations are initiated, to benefit from cost-reducing supply chain processes (ERP) in the industrial-crushing sector to integrated trade & risk systems. Near-real time information processing within a complex market and business environment shortens time for decisions, increases information accuracy, enhances the information base, and creates value for decision making across the group.
Cutting-edge technology with advanced methodology for risk measurement as Value-at-Risk (VaR), a daily disciplined group monitoring process reinforces a risk culture, that is built on conservative group risk strategies and policies.
We have a clear commitment to best practice in risk management, empower the risk environment, and create a culture of risk awareness and pragmatic risk enforcement. Business opportunity and residual group risks need to be balanced to achieve long-term sustainable results.
