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 Annual Report, pages 58 to 63.

The following is extracted in full and unedited text from the Annual Report and is repeated here solely for the purpose of complying with DTR 6.3.5R.

Our principal risks

Leveraging our robust risk management programme, we are constantly vigilant to uncertainty in our operating environments. In this way, we proactively identify new opportunities and risks, and understand the threats to our business viability.

This overview of our most important risks, which involves an assessment of the likelihood of occurrence and the potential consequences, does not include all risks that can ultimately affect the Company. There are risks not yet known to us, or currently believed to be immaterial, that could ultimately have an impact on our business or financial performance.

For the current reporting period, we have made three changes to our principal risk categories. Moving off the list is the risk of change management. With our major business transformation projects involving supply chain and information technology effectively implemented, the probability and impact of this risk was further reduced in 2017 and therefore it is no longer evaluated as a principal risk. However, the category will continue to be monitored as part of our

strategic risk review processes, which allows for its reclassification if required.

The people and talent risk has transformed into two separate risks due to the differing mitigations: people attraction and people engagement. Elevated to a principal risk is health and safety. While health and safety was always closely monitored as a strategic risk, the elevation to a principal risk emphases the critical importance of the well-being and safety of our employees and contractors, and the safety of others in the workplace.

With respect to the risk ratings, the principal risks of cyber and discriminatory taxes increased in comparison to 2016 in both likelihood and impact. The foreign currency risk observed a decrease in impact. The risk ratings were influenced by changes experienced in our operational environment.

The activities of the Group, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance, financial position, cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the Strategic Report (pages 1 to 70). In addition, Notes 23 'Financial risk management and financial instruments', 24 'Net debt' and 25 'Equity' include the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk.
