1. How will you describe Coca Cola HBC’s risk management process?

They use a comprehensive cycle approach to continually find, assess, manage, and
escalate risks and opportunities, which they compare to the risk universe in which they
operate. They strive to reduce their vulnerability to unforeseen occurrences and identified
risks while also establishing a stable environment in which to achieve their strategic goals.
They also analyze their surroundings on a regular basis to spot developing hazards that may
not be affecting their firm right now, but could in the future. They can make better decisions
and turn potentially unfavorable events into opportunities by identifying and evaluating
developing risks early on.

magnitude of the identified risks).

3. What is the impact of Covid-19 in Coca Cola’s risk management process?

CCHBC, like many other firms, has been looking for ways to provide their employees
with more flexible working arrangements and possibilities to improve work-life balance.

Many of their individuals have been compelled to work from home as a result of the
Covid-19 epidemic. As a result, many of their employees have had to make considerable
changes to their work and personal life in a short period of time.

Many of their employees have reported favorable experiences and desire to continue
working from home, at least in part, when they escape from Covid-related constraints.

They're also aware of some of the disadvantages of working from home, such as feelings
of loneliness and difficulty finding suitable working circumstances. This creates concerns
about their employees' mental health as well as the possibility of lost productivity.

Through its Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the company has provided and will
continue to provide further mental health support to its employees.

The company is developing strategies for the gradual implementation of longer-term


modifications to working arrangements following the pandemic, including support for safe
and productive working conditions.
