Transaction risk: As part of the Group’s general risk management policy, Sopra Steria Group systematically hedges against foreign currency transaction risks that constitute material risks. In addition, centralised management of foreign exchange transaction risk is in place with the Group’s main entities (apart from India). Sopra Steria Group acts as the centralising entity, granting exchange rate guarantees to subsidiaries in pounds sterling, US dollars, Polish zlotys, Tunisian dinars, Norwegian kroner and Swiss francs. After netting internal exposures, Sopra Steria Group hedges the residual exposure through the use of derivatives. The remeasurement through profit or loss of these financial instruments hedging balance sheet items is offset by the revaluation of foreign currency receivables over the period.
