Risk management framework
Emerging risks During the year, the Board has considered themes where emerging risks or disrupting events may impact the business. These may arise from behavioural changes, political or regulatory changes, advances in technology, environmental factors, economic conditions or demographic changes. All emerging risks are reviewed as part of the ongoing risk management process. The principal emerging risks have been identified to be: / High and persisting discounts to asset values within the listed property sector adversely impacting investor sentiment; / Political uncertainty in the lead-up to a general election in the UK; / Cyber security and rapid changes in technology such as AI are causing businesses to reshape their operational activities; / Structural changes within the office sector, as businesses continue to reassess their requirements in light of homeworking, technology advances and ESG factors; / Changes in regulations are increasing environmental standards and property owners must keep pace to avoid the risk of stranded assets; and / Increasing demand on the electrical infrastructure being driven by decarbonisation and the phasing out of fossil fuels.
Board / Has overall responsibility for risk management / Determines business model / Considers risk appetite
Audit and Risk Committee / Recommends risk management policy / Reviews internal controls / Reviews detailed risk matrix / Considers principal and emerging risks
Management Committees / Implement strategy and risk policy / Identify and assess risks / Carry out risk mitigation / Review specific transaction risks / Consider forthcoming legislation / Review operational risk
The matrix below illustrates the assessment of the impact and likelihood of each of the principal risks and trend since the last year-end.
