Responsible business
Embedding sustainability principles
We integrate sustainability principles into our compliance and other company policies. We also actively embed and take account of sustainability issues in key organisational processes such as risk management and procurement.
Risk management
We use our Enterprise Risk Management Framework System (ERMFS) to manage risk. Our Internal Audit and Risk Management team maintains the ERMFS and coordinates risk management activities across the Group, leveraging a network of functional Risk Champions. Each principal risk has a risk mitigation plan incorporating management assessment, together with an assessment of the effectiveness of mitigating controls and activities to reduce the risk to the target-level commensurate with the Group’s risk profile.
Sustainability-related elements are found within many of our principal risks, such as non-compliance with sustainability-related laws and regulations or failure to retain, engage and develop a productive workforce or develop key talent. Climate change is identified specifically as a principal risk, and we report on this through our TCFD report which can be found in our annual Sustainability Report and Annual Report and Accounts.
Governance structures, such as the Board Sustainability Committee, provide oversight, ensuring that sustainability risks are regularly reviewed, and mitigation plans are in place. This integrated approach allows Aston Martin to proactively manage risks while enhancing operational resilience and maintaining compliance with evolving regulations.
