The ERM system was established in ONGC Videsh in April 2012 with in-house efforts and is now aligned with ISO 31000:2018, the international standard on risk management. The system has matured over the years and well integrated into business processes of the company. It is underpinned by a set of principles and includes the exercise of identification, assessment and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated application of resources to monitor, control and minimize the probability and impact of unexpected events.

Implementation of SAP GRC-Risk module has further strengthened ERM System monitoring through capturing the monthly reporting of risk events and quarterly compliance on risk register. Risk dashboard further helps management for informed decisions through screens showing on world map projects with their risk scores, significant risks, risk heat maps and status of quarterly compliances.

ONGC Videsh IT Security policy is ISO 27001 certified and has ensured more than 99.5% system and service availability even during the COVID-19 pandemic imposed lockdown. This has ensured business continuity and mitigated key risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The risks are being managed on an increasingly integrated basis to support effective risk-based decision making. The interconnected risk management framework of ONGC Videsh enables us to derive maximum value from the ERM system and enhances the adaptability, and ability of the organization to thrive in ever changing risk environment.
