Risk Philosophy
Risk management should enable action—not create distance from it.
Every strategy contains uncertainty. The objective is not to eliminate all risk, but to understand which risks support value creation, which require stronger controls, and which should not be accepted.
The intended framework links risk assessment to planning, investment decisions, operating reviews, major contracts, market entry, technology changes and incident response. Material risks should have a named owner, documented treatment and a clear route for escalation.
Connected to strategy
Risk is considered when choosing markets, products, partners, capital commitments and operating models.
Closest capable owner
Responsibility sits with the function or entity best placed to understand and manage the exposure.
Independent challenge
Material assumptions and controls should be reviewed by people not solely responsible for the commercial outcome.
Transparent escalation
Bad news should travel quickly, with enough evidence for decision-makers to act.
Risk Governance
Ownership is distributed. Oversight is connected.
The group’s federated operating model requires local accountability while preserving central visibility over risks that could affect capital, reputation, compliance, liquidity or continuity across multiple entities.
01
Board / Governing Body
Sets direction, reviews material enterprise risks, challenges assumptions and considers whether exposure is consistent with the organisation’s objectives and capacity.
Oversight · appetite · accountability
02
Executive Leadership
Translates oversight into priorities, resources, controls and decisions; resolves conflicts between growth targets and risk capacity.
Direction · allocation · escalation
03
Business & Entity Owners
Identify and manage risks within their operations, keep evidence current, monitor controls and escalate changes or breaches promptly.
Day-to-day ownership

Enterprise Risk Universe
A common language for different sources of uncertainty.
Risk categories help teams scan broadly, compare exposures and avoid treating operational, financial or regulatory issues in isolation.

Risk Lifecycle
Identify. Assess. Respond. Monitor. Learn.
A repeatable cycle turns risk conversations into traceable decisions and continuous improvement.
01
Identify
Scan decisions, changes, incidents and external developments for threats and opportunities.
02
Assess
Consider likelihood, impact, velocity, control strength and interdependence with other risks.
03
Respond
Avoid, reduce, transfer, share or accept exposure with an accountable owner and due date.
04
Monitor
Track indicators, control performance, residual risk, incidents and changes in assumptions.
05
Learn
Review outcomes, root causes and near misses; improve processes, decisions and resilience.
Risk Appetite & Escalation
Different risks require different levels of tolerance.
Risk appetite converts strategy into practical boundaries. It should reflect the organisation’s financial capacity, legal duties, stakeholder expectations, brand promise and ability to recover.
Thresholds should be approved for the relevant decision level and reviewed when the business, market or operating model changes.
Emerging
Monitor changes and assumptions
Material
Executive review and treatment plan
Critical
Immediate escalation and response
Managed
Within approved tolerance
Exposure is understood, controls are operating and the accountable owner can manage it within delegated authority.
Guarded
Close to or outside tolerance
Additional controls, senior review, modified terms or a time-bound reduction plan are required.
Restricted
Not acceptable without explicit approval
Potential legal breach, severe safety impact, fraud, material misstatement, sanctions exposure or threat to business continuity.
Cross-Border Control Priorities
Local accountability with group-wide visibility.
LDV’s multi-entity operating model creates advantages in market access and resilience, but it also increases the need for clear entity roles, reliable records, compliant flows and timely escalation.
01
Entity & Regulatory Fit
Confirm that the contracting, invoicing, marketplace and importing entity is authorised for the activity and aligned with local registration requirements.
KYC · VAT/GST · licences · importer status
02
Treasury & Counterparty
Control account access, payment approval, FX exposure, settlement timing, credit terms and counterparty concentration.
Liquidity · FX · fraud · credit
03
Trade & Sanctions
Verify product classification, customs data, origin claims, restricted parties, export controls and documentary accuracy.
HS codes · origin · sanctions · customs
04
Product & Supply Chain
Assess supplier capability, materials, quality, traceability, production continuity, logistics dependency and recall readiness.
Quality · sourcing · continuity · recalls
05
Marketplaces & Customers
Manage platform KYC, listing accuracy, pricing, claims, returns, consumer protection, reviews and account-suspension risk.
Listings · claims · returns · reputation
06
Data & Technology
Protect access, system availability, personal data, automated workflows, source-of-truth records and recoverability.
Cyber · privacy · resilience · AI controls
Incident Management
Respond quickly. Preserve facts. Control consequences.
An incident becomes harder to manage when ownership is unclear, evidence is lost or communications move faster than verified information.
01
Detect and notify
Raise concerns early through the appropriate operational, legal, technology, finance or leadership route.
02
Stabilise
Protect people, systems, assets and evidence; stop further loss where safe and lawful.
03
Assess materiality
Determine scope, urgency, affected entities, legal duties, stakeholders and decision authority.
04
Coordinate response
Assign an incident lead, actions, communications, documentation and specialist support.
05
Recover and review
Restore service, validate controls, identify root causes and track corrective actions to closure.
Business Continuity
Design for interruption before interruption happens.
Continuity planning should focus on essential activities, realistic dependencies and the minimum capability needed to continue or recover.
01
Critical processes
Identify essential customer, payment, fulfilment, compliance, manufacturing and decision activities.
02
Dependency mapping
Understand systems, people, suppliers, facilities, logistics routes and data required for delivery.
03
Fallback options
Define alternative suppliers, manual procedures, backup communication, inventory buffers and recovery resources.
04
Testing
Exercise plausible scenarios, record gaps and ensure plans remain usable when normal tools are unavailable.
Continuity plans, recovery objectives and crisis roles should be verified against the actual systems, facilities, contracts, insurance and people currently supporting each operation.
Technology & AI Risk
Automation should improve control—not obscure accountability.
LDV’s technology blueprint emphasises authoritative systems, automated visibility and human approval for consequential actions. Risk controls should preserve those principles as systems scale.
01
Authoritative Records
Material decisions should use approved source systems, reconciled data and controlled master records rather than unverified copies.
02
Human Approval
Payments, postings, pricing, external communications and other consequential actions should remain subject to authorised human review.
03
Access & Segregation
Privileges should reflect roles, sensitive actions should require appropriate separation and access should change when responsibilities change.
04
Monitoring & Recovery
Logs, exceptions, backups, alerts and recovery procedures should make failures visible, traceable and reversible.

Risk Reporting & Assurance
Useful reporting shows change, ownership and required action.
A risk report should help decision-makers understand what has changed, why it matters, whether controls are working and what decision is required.
01
Portfolio and enterprise view
Consolidate material risks across businesses and entities without losing local ownership or context.
02
Indicators and trends
Track leading indicators, incidents, near misses, control failures, concentrations and overdue actions.
03
Decision-focused escalation
State the exposure, options, recommendation, owner and timing instead of reporting risk as description only.
04
Verification and assurance
Use management review, specialist checks, reconciliations, testing and independent assurance proportionate to materiality.
