Technology and Data Risk encom-
passes threats associated with the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of critical systems and information. As
a data-driven energy trading specialist,
Mind Energy relies on secure, accurate,
and accessible data to operate eec-
tively. This risk includes cyber threats,
system failures, unauthorised access,
and data inaccuracies, which could
impact decision-making, regulatory
compliance, and business continuity.
The increasing sophistication of cyber
risks—such as ransomware, phishing,
and other cyberaacks—remains a key
focus area. To mitigate these threats,
we continuously invest in cybersecurity
measures, data protection protocols,
and IT resilience strategies to safe-
guard operations, protect sensitive
information, and maintain trust with
customers and stakeholders.
Regulatory and Compliance Risk refers
to the potential impact of non-com-
pliance with laws, market regulations,
and repoing obligations that govern
Mind Energy’s operations. As regulatory
frameworks evolve, ensuring adherence
to market rules, licensing requirements,
and disclosure obligations is critical
to maintaining operational legitimacy
and market access. Additionally, we
are commied to upholding the highest
ethical standards, proactively mitigating
risks related to bribery and corruption to
safeguard our reputation and long-term
business sustainability.
To manage these risks, we have estab-
lished a compliance function to fuher
strengthen this area. The compliance
function has introduced and maintains a
robust compliance programme, includ-
ing a board-approved compliance policy
to govern compliance eos.
Operational risk refers to the poten-
tial for disruptions, ineciencies, or
financial losses arising from failures in
internal processes, resource manage-
ment, or workforce-related challenges.
Maintaining business continuity is
essential for Mind Energy, as disrup-
tions can impact peormance, market
responsiveness, and financial results.
Additionally, human capital risks, such
as talent shoages or turnover of
key personnel, can aect operational
stability and execution of strategic
initiatives.
To mitigate these risks, we continuously
enhance process quality and resilience,
resource allocation, and workforce
development. Through robust business
continuity planning, operational safe-
guards, and talent retention strategies,
we ensure that our operations remain
agile, resilient, and aligned with our
strategic objectives.
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial
loss due to a counterpay’s failure to
meet payment or contractual obli-
gations. For Mind Energy, credit risk
primarily materialises in two ways:
failure to receive timely payment aer
the delivery of energy or services, and
default by trading counterpaies or
customers with fixed-price agree-
ments who hold an unrealised negative
Mark-toMarket (MtM) value for the
counterpa, leaving Mind Energy
exposed to potential losses on hedges.
This risk can be fuher exacerbated if
margin or collateral requirements are
not met.
Delays or defaults in payments can
impact liquidity, revenue, and overall
financial peormance, making continu-
ous credit monitoring and risk controls
essential.
To manage credit risk, Mind Energy
applies a risk framework that includes
credit assessments, credit limits, Credit
Suppo Annexes (CSAs), and contin-
uous counterpay monitoring. Where
necessary, risk-mitigating measures
such as prepayments and guaran-
tees are used to ensure that credit
exposures remain within the company’s
defined risk appetite.
