Working in the high-tech industry brings together several fields of specialization. A very important one in any major industry is risk management. Risks are essentially anything that can have a negative impact on the company or on its objectives. Risk management’s task is therefore to catalogue and minimize such risks. Risk can be very diverse, prompting diverse measures. Only a risk that is properly identified risk can be consistently addressed and adequately controlled. It is likewise important to learn from past cases and to ensure that changes from any new trend are detected in time. Risk reporting is even a part of the Volkswagen Group’s requirements! Together with our employees, our risk management team is ever vigilant and keeps a watchful eye.
