Risk Management
The primary objective of risk management is the protection of Rabobank Group’s financial strength. Risk management is based on the following principles:
- Protecting the Group’s financial strength. We control risks in order to limit the impact of potential adverse events on our capital and on our financial results. Risk appetite must be proportional to available capital. We have developed an economic capital framework to quantify this.
- Protecting the Group’s reputation. Reputation is essential to the proper performance of the banking profession and must be preserved diligently.
- Risk transparency. For good insight into Rabobank Group’s positions, it is vital to identify all risks. Risks must always be guaged as accurately as possible in order to be able to make sound commercial decisions.
- Management responsibility. Rabobank Group’s business entities are individually responsible for their results, as well as for risks associated with their operations. They must find a balance between risk and return, while duly observing the relevant risk limits.
- Independent risk control. We have a structured process of identifying, measuring, monitoring and reporting risks. In order to ensure integrity, our risk control departments operate independently of our commercial activities.
In order to manage all the various risks, we have in place an extensive system of limits and controls.
