Insurance and risk coverage 4.3

The Group evaluates its risks with care in order to fine-tune the level of coverage of the risks it incurs. The Group has two types of coverage: Group insurance programmes and local policies. The programmes at Group level are monitored by who coordinates the insurance and risk management policy, and also by a person in charge of monitoring industrial risk prevention.
