Risk report

Risk strategy

The business activities of the KION Group necessarily involve risk. Dealing responsibly with risk and managing it in a comprehensive manner is an important element of corporate management. The overarching aim is to fully harness business opportunities while ensuring that risk always remains under control. Using a groupwide risk management system, the KION Group contains all identified risks by implementing suitable measures and takes appropriate precautions.

This ensures that the losses expected if these risks arise will be largely covered and therefore will not jeopardize the Company’s continuation as a going concern. Risk management is embedded in the Corporate Controlling function and plays an active and wide-ranging role due to the strategic focus of Corporate Controlling. The Operating Units’ business models, strategies, and specific plans of action are evaluated systematically. This ensures that risk management is integrated into the KION Group’s overall planning and reporting process.
