HOCHTIEF's global business naturally involves risks. But risks can only cause real harm if they remain undetected and hence uncontrolled and uncontained. Our sophisticated risk management system employs proactive risk control to minimize potential impacts - and is key to advancing the Group's successful development and profitability.

Integrated risk management

Risk management at HOCHTIEF takes in all organizational processes geared to early risk detection and the identification and timely implementation of appropriate countermeasures. A risk is defined as any contingency with a potential negative impact on the attainment of business goals – and particularly on earnings trends.

Acknowledged as a key success factor at HOCHTIEF, risk management is integral to our entire management system. Risk management relies on the acuity and experience of our workforce. Recognizing this, we have introduced a continuously evolving risk culture sustained at all levels by organizational processes, systems and communication.
