Risks

Within the context of its business operations, Barco is exposed to a wide variety of risks that can affect its ability to achieve its objectives and to execute its strategy successfully. To anticipate, identify, prioritize, manage and monitor the risks that impact its organization, Barco puts a sound risk management and control system into place, which is actively supported by the Board of Directors.
