The new modus operandi – which over the medium term will enable the generation of value through a more conscious, structured and integrated risk management process – is based on an entrepreneurial vision, in keeping with the history of the Group, whose goal is to minimise financial, credit and liquidity risks; in line with this approach, in the management of financial and market risks, ERG uses derivatives such as options, forwards, futures and swaps, but solely for hedging and not speculative purposes.
