3.10 RISK MANAGEMENT<br />
The risk management council carried out activities for detection and re-definition of individual<br />
types of risks that the <strong>Gorenje</strong> <strong>Group</strong> is exposed to.<br />
Three committees operate with the risk management council: business risk committee, financial<br />
risk committee and operation risk committee.<br />
Risk detection has been evaluated by the size of influence on the result and assessment of probability<br />
for the occurrence of influence and exposure to individual risks by additional criteria which has<br />
enabled the preparation of proposals and taking of measures for risk management.<br />
Individual risks were joined in groups and classified into a strategic risk map. The risk management<br />
council directed and co-ordinated the hedging activities and risk reduction to a business reasonable<br />
and acceptable level.<br />

3.10.1 BUSINESS RISK MANAGEMENT<br />
Business risks are classified as risks associated with the ability of provision of short-term and longterm<br />
generation of operating revenue, control of business processes and maintenance of asset<br />
value.<br />
BUSINESS RISKS: external risks; sales risks; purchase risks; product risks; development risks;<br />
human resources risks; property loss risks<br />
External risks are mainly associated with the changes in macroeconomic conditions of operation<br />
in individual key markets. The exposure has been greatly increased due to the beginning of the<br />
global financial crisis, versatility and complexity of business activities. The management board of<br />
the <strong>Gorenje</strong> <strong>Group</strong> has assessed that the exposure to such risks is extremely high in individual<br />
markets.
