No risk no fun as they say

Financial Compliance agenda drives risk and control management process that are relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, without material misstatements, whether it is due to fraud or error. Risk management process allows risks to be understood and managed proactively, optimising success by minimising threats and maximising opportunities. Internal controls aim to ensure that Arla Foods is in compliance with relevant internal and external regulations. RCC objective is to identify problems, solve them and prevent recurrence in the future, all while documenting things thoroughly and accurately.

Information Security

One of the most important aspects of Information Security (including Cyber Security) is that the organisation and any outsourcing suppliers to Arla Foods recognise the exposure and business impact that comes from operating within an interconnected global system and the need to ensure that Information Security is implemented in an adequate manner.

We also have Policy Office, embedded within RCC, that supports and enables policy owners across the Arla Group in the process of creating, implementing and enforcing Arla’s corporate policies.
