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, we put a sound risk management and control system into place, which is actively supported by the Board of directors.

2023: main risks

Every year in the fourth quarter, Barco performs a company-wide risk assessment and compliance gap analysis. In 2023, the risk universe was revised and split into 4 domains: Corporate risks and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).

The following risks are taken into consideration:
