Sustainability - Governance and Risk Management

AES Corporate Governance Guidelines Services

At the core of our corporate governance and oversight structure is the AES Board of Directors.

Financial Risk Management Services

Anticipating, identifying and mitigating risk is an essential element of AES’ governance and financial management functions. We believe that risk management and sustainability work together: Managing risk properly enhances sustainability, and improving sustainability helps reduce and avoid risks across the entire company. The first line of risk management takes place at each of AES’ businesses. AES manages risk at both the business unit and corporate levels, first by minimizing unwanted exposure and debt in its initial contracts, and then by aggregating all existing risk under a corporate Risk Management Team, which reviews, balances and manages risks across the entire AES system.

Environmental Risk Management Services

AES has established a series of environmental standards, based on industry best practices, which set the minimum environmental performance requirements at each AES business over which the company has management control. The Environmental Management System (EMS) framework requires continuous environmental performance monitoring; environmental risk assessment; and periodic integrated environmental, health and safety EMS audit performance. Our EMS framework helps ensure that our businesses achieve environmental compliance, address significant environmental impacts and strive for continuous environmental performance improvement.
