Corruption risk management

At Saab, mitigating risks is a crucial part of doing business. That is why we recurringly work to identify and assess corruption risks.

Saab seeks to identify and assess corruption risks and programme improvements in multiple ways. The compliance module of the enterprise risk management (ERM) process serves to rate the corruption risk in Saab’s business dealings. This is done using a method that measures the corruption risk in all business prospects above 50 MSEK against a set of weighted risk indicators and a country risk multiplier. 

Anti-corruption

In addition, Ethics and Compliance performs an annual group-wide corruption risk assessment to identify and manage corruption risks and gaps in Saab’s anti-corruption programme. Data to the group-wide corruption risk assessment is collected from a number of sources including stakeholder workshops, regulatory requirements, external benchmarking, ERM-output and other metrics. 

Local compliance reviews in foreign operations are conducted in person at regular intervals of three to four years to verify compliance and identify improvements to the programme. The result of all assessments and activities are converted into actions in annual activity plans or road maps.
