Principal risks and uncertainties
Risk Management
Effective risk management forms an integral part of how we operate. It is
essential for delivering our strategic objectives as well as protecting our
relationships and reputation.
The Group's Risk Management Framework
Risk awareness is a key element of Braemar's organisational culture at all
levels and is key in managing risks to our business, helping to ensure the
process of risk identification, assessment and response is embedded within
daily operational and functional activities across the Group.
The board is responsible for managing the Group's risk, overseeing the
internal control framework, and determining the nature and extent of the
principal risks the Company is willing to take to achieve its long-term
objectives. The Group's risk management and internal control frameworks are
continually monitored and reviewed by the board and the Audit Committee, with
support from a Management Risk Committee. The board is committed to
maintaining a reputation for the highest standards of conduct in all aspects
of its business, but in considering the other matters set out in Section 172
of the Companies Act 2006, the directors are mindful that the approach must be
balanced with both Employee interests and the Group's need to foster business
relationships. As such, Group policies and procedures have been designed to
ensure that the level of risk to which the Group is exposed is consistent with
the Group's risk appetite and aligned with the Group's long-term strategy,
but also to avoid a disproportionate administrative burden on employees,
clients, and counterparties.
Reporting to the Chair of the Audit Committee and administratively to the
Chief Financial Officer, the Group Head of Internal Audit and Group Risk &
Compliance Manager leads the Risk Management, Internal Controls and Compliance
functions.
Risk Management Process
The Group's Risk Management approach or framework incorporates both bottom-up
and top-down identification, evaluation, and management of risks. Within our
framework:
· Senior management teams have initial responsibility for
identifying, monitoring, and updating business risks, while
· Group IT, HR, Legal and Finance management teams assess their
respective functions for operational and functional risks not identified by
senior management.
The Group's Risk Management framework is managed via a new online
system/solution which is accessible to the senior management team and
operational and functional management teams globally. The new system's
functionality has allowed for enhanced monitoring and reporting automation,
which was a limitation of the system previously used. The new system allows
for:
· Group-wide real-time updating,
· Distribution and completion of periodic internal control
self-assessment surveys,
· Ongoing monitoring of risks and mitigation activities at
Group, Operational, and Functional levels, and
· Risk Management reporting at Group, Regional, and company
location levels.
The Group's risk management framework considers both the likelihood and the
impact of identified risks materialising. Risks are offset, where possible,
by the implementation of control activities, which are evaluated to determine
their effectiveness in mitigating or reducing risk to acceptable levels.
All identified risks are aggregated and reviewed to assess their impact on the
Group's strategic objectives and the resources required to manage them
effectively. Key (or Principal) risks are aggregated together with associated
issues or areas of uncertainty. The extent of controls and mitigation as well
as the potential for a material effect on the market value of the Group are
then assessed. Unmitigated risks can be significant, but our control processes
and management actions reduce the risk level.
The risk management process evaluates the timescale over which new or emerging
risks may occur. The risk management process also considers the potential
impact and likelihood of risks, as well as the timescale in which risks may
occur. The outcome of this process is then reviewed with further
consideration and assessment provided by the Risk Committee, the Audit
Committee, and the board.
Oversight and evaluation of the effectiveness of Braemar's risk management
framework is led by the Chief Financial Officer, supported by a Management
Risk Committee whose membership includes the Chief Operating Officer, General
Counsel, Group Head of Internal Audit and Group Risk and Compliance Manager,
and representatives of other functions and locations of the business. The
Committee monitors risks regularly, taking into consideration the appetite,
tolerance, and potential impact for specific risks on the Group.
Environment and Climate Change
During FY21/22 Environment and Climate Change-related risk was assessed as
part of ongoing discussions of key and emerging risks for the Group and the
shipping and energy sectors within which it operates. Consideration of the
potential short to medium-term impact of Environment and Climate Change risk
resulted in its inclusion as a Group Principal Risk this year. Review and
analysis of Group Principal Risks, including Environment and Climate Change
risk, is a standing agenda topic for the Risk Committee, and as such was,
discussed in Risk Committee meetings throughout FY21/22. Below is a summary of
matters considered.
Classification of environment and climate change risks
The Risk Committee recognised that there are several specific environmental
and climate-related risks. Under TCFD recommendations climate-related risks
can be classified into two main categories:
· Transitional risks: The risks associated with transitioning to a
lower-carbon economy which include regulatory, market and technology-related
risks and adaptations related to climate change.
· Physical risks: The risks associated with acute weather events or
longer-term shifts in climate patterns.
Further work is in progress to develop a climate-related risk matrix which
classifies all climate-related risks and opportunities into the two main
categories and documents them in a way that is consistent with the Group's
overall risk management framework.
Timeframe
The nature of climate-related risks is such that the potential impacts to the
Group can be classified into short, medium, and long term. The Risk Committee
have initially identified these timeframes as follows:
· Short-term: 0-2 years
· Medium-term: 3-10 years
· Long-term: Beyond 10 years
Impacts to the Group's strategy
The Risk Committee discussed several climate-related opportunities such a
carbon offsetting, growing the Renewables desk and supporting clients with
climate-friendly ship design and sustainable ship recycling via the Sale and
Purchase desk. In the short-term carbon offsetting is a key part of the
Group's strategy and further details of the implementation of the CHOOOSE
platform can be found on page 39.
Impacts on financial performance
Management does not expect does not expect climate-related risks to have a
material impact on the Group's short-term financial performance. The potential
impact of climate change and other environmental issues has not formed a
significant element in any key judgements or estimates disclosed in the
Group's Financial Statements for the year ended 28 February 2022.
Significance relative to other principal risks
The Group has not ranked any of its principal risks and therefore the
significance of environment and climate related-risks relative to the Group's
other principal risks has not been assessed.
The Chief Financial Officer was responsible for providing the board and the
Audit Committee with updates on these discussions. After our financial
year-end, the Group established a Climate Change Management Committee which
has specific responsibility for identifying and managing the Group's
climate-related risks and opportunities. The Climate Change Committee is
Chaired by the Group's Chief Operating Officer and includes the Managing
Director of the Singapore office plus other team members from Shipbroking and
Corporate. The Climate Change Committee will report to the board and the
Audit Committee via the Chief Operating Officer. The Risk Committee retains
responsibility for monitoring this as a principal risk, incorporating this
risk into the Group's overall risk management framework, and ensuring that the
impacts of the risks are appropriately monitored and mitigated.
Risk Mitigation
The Group takes various measures to mitigate risk. Key steps in our risk
management process throughout the year included:
· Ongoing periodic review and updating of policies and procedures,
including AML and KYC, to enhance/strengthen the Group's Governance
Framework, with ongoing monitoring of Employee compliance by the Group Head of
Internal Audit & Group Risk and Compliance Manager.
· A system of internal checks and authorisations,
complemented by independent assurance activities.
· Usage of common finance, HR and operations systems across
the Group supported by our IT team.
· Succession planning and strategic recruitment supported by
the Group HR team.
· Establishment of board-approved Group budgets with ongoing
performance monitoring against budgets/reforecasts and investigation of
significant variances.
· Regular reporting of Treasury management activity to the board
by the Chief Financial Officer. (Note the Group does not enter speculative
treasury transactions.)
· Ongoing monitoring of contractual risk by the Group legal
team.
· Operation of the Group's whistleblowing procedure.
· Maintenance of appropriate insurance cover.
Principal Risks
The directors have carried out an assessment of the principal and emerging
risks facing the Company. The most significant risks to which the board
considers the Group is exposed, based on the evaluation process described in
the Group's Risk Management Framework are set out alphabetically below.
