12.2 Risk Mitigation Framework
EEH implements a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework integrated into governance and operations. The Board-level Audit & Risk Committee provides quarterly oversight, with formal risk appetite statements, key risk indicator dashboards, and escalation protocols. Management maintains a rolling risk register reviewed monthly at EXCO level, with assigned risk owners and remediation action plans tracked to completion.
The ERM framework distinguishes between strategic risks (managed at Board level), project risks (managed by development and construction teams), and operational risks (managed by estate management teams). Cross-cutting risks such as regulatory change, economic downturn, and reputational risk are addressed through scenario planning and stress testing of the financial model.
