1. Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties relating to the Company are as set out in the "Effective management of risk" section of the 2020 Annual Report, pages 54 to 61.
The following is extracted in full and unedited text from the 2020 Annual Report and is repeated here solely for the purpose of complying with DTR 6.3.5R.
Principal risks
The cyclic review of our principal risks involves an assessment of the likelihood of their occurrence and their potential consequences to confirm the level of exposure and evaluate the strategies to manage them. Our list of principal risks, presented on pages 58-61, involves a long-term view which evolves over time.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our business and particularly on two of our principal risks - channel mix and health and safety. As indicators of the broad impact that the COVID-19 pandemic might have on our business and our people began to emerge in early 2020, our Group COVID-19 Operational Task Force worked closely with Company business units to identify additional actions to be taken to reduce the impact on our business.
Restrictions across our markets saw hotels, restaurants and cafés close down for extended periods of time. This had a significant impact on one of our primary channels for providing our products to consumers.
Despite this, our strong relationships with partners and customers, together with the resilience and adaptability of our people and our business, enabled us to adjust to meet changing demand.
Many of our smaller customers, smaller cafés and restaurants for example, have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While it increased short-term credit risks, the Company took a long-term view of the situation, using this time to support many of our smaller customers and invest in building relationships which will pay dividends over time.
As noted in our viability statement, while the longer-term changes to our markets are still uncertain, we are confident that with the widespread distribution of vaccines and the focus of governments in our markets on economic recovery, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to dissipate in the short to medium term.
The health and safety risks to our people of acquiring and transmitting COVID-19 were considerable, and our Board moved to prioritise safety in early 2020. Additional measures were put in place across offices and production & distribution facilities to reduce the risk of transmission and advice was provided to our people to reduce the risk of acquiring the disease. Contingency plans to manage potential staffing shortfalls were established but not required.
We continue to carefully monitor COVID-19 cases in each market and investigate increases or unusual concentrations. We have also learned from what has worked well in certain markets and shared best practices to safeguard the wellbeing of our employees, customers and communities.
The changing nature of the workplace, with a dramatic shift to working from home during 2020, also provided challenges as far as providing a safe workplace and ensuring additional support for family care and mental health concerns. The Company encouraged our employees to access our Employee Assistance Programme to help support our people through these trying times.
We saw an increase in political and social instability with hostilities in Armenia and protest activity in Belarus and Nigeria.This instability increased personal security risks to our people and had some shortterm operational impacts on our business.
There is evidence of increasing social discontent and dissatisfaction with incumbent governments around the world, particularly amongst younger people who believe that political leaders are not listening to them or acting quickly enough on issues that are high on their agenda, including equality and climate change.
This dissatisfaction may be exacerbated by widening gaps between groups disproportionally impacted by COVID-19 and governments introducing additional measures to restore economies. This may lead to unrest and protest activity creating personal security risks for our people as well as disruptions to our business.
COVID-19 has led to higher levels of sovereign debt across our territories, that may slow economic growth and impact consumer spending. It may also lead to increased corporate taxes and additional discriminatory taxes such as sugar taxes and non-recyclable plastics and water levies as governments look to reduce debt, broaden the tax base and respond to consumer concerns around health and climate change.
The global geopolitical and macroeconomic environment remains volatile and complex, with the potential to adversely impact our business. It therefore remains a focus for our ERM programme.
Cyber security risks increased during the year and that was reflected in a number of well-publicised attacks against a variety of companies and industries. The increase in the number of people working from home increased opportunities for malicious acts. The Company continued to enhance its IT security programme to mitigate those risks by aligning with the NIST Cyber Security Framework and continuously increasing our ability to respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks by improving our people capabilities, processes and technology.
In 2020, we retained our focus on managing our key sustainability risks with continued management attention and investment in new technologies. Our aim is to reduce the longer-term impact of climate change on the business, to improve efficiencies and to reduce our impact on the environment. This reflects our commitment to our long-term Mission 2025 strategy despite the shorter-term pressure on our financial resources resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Access to water is fundamental for healthy communities and the environment as well as for our operations. Climate change is impacting the availability of water in some parts of the territories in which we operate.This may lead to increasing scarcity, production halts and generally higher costs associated with water. Failure to decrease our net use of water and contribute to resolving water challenges for our communities and the environment could lead to increasing regulatory attention and a decline in stakeholder trust.
Last year, we renewed our Water stewardship policy. We also continued to assess the potential impact of climate change on water availability in regions in which we operate.
We are using tools from recognized organisations, such as the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) and the World Resource Institute (WRI), to assess future water risks for different temperature scenarios.The outcomes are the basis for our long-term management plans to assure supply and business continuity as well as making a contribution to water challenges facing our communities.
A broader discussion on our climate-related risks, their link to materiality, and our risk management approach is provided as part of our statement on implementing the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures located on page 62-63.
Our robust risk management programme is integrated into monthly business routines and evaluates risks against our business and strategic priorities, ensuring we remain vigilant to the uncertainty in our operating environment and can react with greater speed.
The programme enables us to proactively identify new risks and opportunities, which in turn allows us to understand threats to our business viability. This analysis is the key component of our qualitative review process in support of our viability statement.
