Our sustainability strategy, and our materiality matrix, are also a way for the Company to manage its key risks efficiently.
CMHL decided to report its Corporate Governance practice against the ASEAN Corporate Governance standards and uses the criteria selected by Myanmar Authorities. You can download the mapping here.
The top management is accountable and responsible for monitoring the risks across CMHL. It maintains a register of the different risks that might impact CMHL. The risks identified are broad and are related to various factors (health, political crisis, people, business continuity, reputation, supply chain, etc.): the Finance team reviews and updates the risk register every month based on the different departments’ feedback. The most significant risks are then identified: mitigation plans are developed and shared with CMHL’s CEO and reviewed and approved by City Holdings’ Supervisory Committee.
In 2021, the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic and socio-economic crisis had multiple effects on CMHL’s operations. Some of them are detailed below:
