Risk Trends and Material Issues
According to the WEF’s “Global Risk Report 2023”, the major risks closely related to SYSTEX include the risks of “Failure to mitigate and adapt climate change, Natural disasters and extreme weather events, and Widespread cybercrime and cyber insecurity”. At the same time, although the Covid-19 epidemic is gradually easing, the threat of other mutant viruses continues to emerge due to rapid changes in the global environment, thus creating potential risks of operational disruption. In addition, in response to the increasing international awareness of human rights, risk assessments on human rights issues are also conducted. SYSTEX also plans and implements management actions for preventing these risks.
