MANAGING RISK

We recognise that dealing with risk is an important part of our business. De Beers is governed by a risk framework through which risks in all areas of the business are identified and managed.
Each of our business units highlights all significant risks to the Board, which has devised a policy and strategy for dealing with them. In essence, we seek to reduce risk where we can’t remove it entirely.
