Any company must be able to ensure its continuity by controlling risk as well as possible, with humility and clear-mindedness, whatever its area of activity, size or history.
Controlling risks where they are
Risk management begins inside the business lines themselves, as close as possible to the reality in the field. This makes it possible to monitor each risk factor, in order to:
Develop a risk map (updated annually)
Define a control plan
Track incidents and maintain a documented history
All risk factors are scrutinised - market, liquidity and compliance risks, as well as operational, technical, environmental and other risks.
We make all our employees aware of this philosophy of constant improvement, a philosophy that is also evident in our CSR commitments.
Circular risk management
Risk control is based on prudential rules that are strict, multi-level, permanent and updated annually.
1st line of control
This line of control, called OPC (Operational Permanent Control), is aimed at monitoring the proper implementation of risk management plans at the level of each line of business.
This continuous monitoring enables us to react immediately and make the necessary corrections to each of our actions. In addition, it feeds into our prevention policy, which is based on monitoring every loss, every incident and every failure, with the aim of applying specific, immediate, long-term solutions.
2nd line of control
BNP Paribas Real Estate's Risk Management Department, which is totally independent of the lines of business, centralises the risk function. Its experienced teams support the progression of each activity in accordance with the Group's risk policy and financial performance criteria.
This second level of control is carried out by teams specialised in:
Real estate development
Investment management
ORC (Operational Risk and Control)
Management of personal data (DPO – Data Protection Officer).
The Risk Management Department carries out second-level controls, both on the business lines and on the central functions, independently of the business lines, functions and the first line of control.
It is also a member of various real estate investment committees.
3rd line of control
This line of control is exercised by the General Inspection Unit of the BNP Paribas Group. Regular monitoring of specific business lines and activities enables us to improve our procedures through detailed recommendations.
This permanent risk monitoring is the final link in the control chain and forms part of a continuous improvement process.
