Given its international commitments, CA Immo International is confronted with a variety of risks. Some of these relate to its ongoing operating business results. Others are so wide-ranging that they could prevent the company attaining its strategic objectives. The risk management system must therefore identify and evaluate these risks in good time and, if necessary, initiate appropriate counter-measures.

Systematic risk management is consequently a major element of the internal controlling process, and directly influences strategic and operational decision-making procedures within the company. This applies in particular to strategic and business plans, the analysis of an investment project, and interest rate and currency decisions. The objective is to ensure value-based management in order to expand the market position of CA Immo International in an even more precise and flexible way.

For this reason the Management Board of CA Immo International is directly involved in all decisions in which risk plays a role, and carries the overall responsibility for them. CA Immo International relies on a highly experienced internal management team. Major decisions at every process level are taken according to the principle of dual control or “two heads are better than one“. Internal guidelines and continuous reporting on business developments make it possible to monitor and control economic risks. In addition, all investment projects are subject to examination by the Supervisory Board or an investment committee.

CA Immo International assesses risks according to content, type and scale. This results in two different types of risk management, either strategic or operational.
