对风险和机会的适当识别，评估和管理（尤其是在项目的招标，准备和执行方面）是我们管理方法的组成部分，使我们能够以纪律严明的方式利用机会。
For several years already, we operate a group-wide quality management system which we refer to as the Boskalis Way of Working (WoW). In designing this system, we observed the principles and guidelines of the ISO 31000 standard for risk management. The overriding objective of our WoW-system is to give our staff the best possible support in achieving operational excellence throughout the project lifecycle, with a clear focus on safe and sustainable solutions as well as a consistent client approach. Operational excellence in this context means achieving compliance with the internal and external control requirements imposed on our primary project process whilst minimizing failure costs.
We monitor compliance and identify opportunities to further improve our performance by conducting regular internal audits, inspections, emergency drills, and management reviews. For all business units, external certification bodies have (re-)confirmed that the implementation of WoW complies with the most recent applicable international (ISO) quality, safety and environmental standards. We are continuing our efforts to further improve and harmonize (the documentation of) this system.
Our tolerance or appetite for risks is documented in the Group’s guidelines, policies, procedures and instructions. Examples include the Boskalis Code of Conduct and the Supplier Code of Conduct, safety and quality policies and procedures, vendor selection criteria, project risk classification system, contracting guidelines, authorization limits, tax and treasury policies, management planning and control systems, financial control framework, crisis management plans, information security and access management policies.
下面概述了我们目前认为是最重要的战略，运营，合规性，财务（报告）以及我们在追求业务目标时面临的其他风险。此概述并不详尽，并没有按重要性顺序排名。我们目前可能会有其他风险，但稍后阶段可能会这样表现出来。在可能的情况下，我们指出了有助于减轻这些风险的特定措施。
