SMS officers are nominated and trained in all key business functions to ensure implementation, and operation of the SMS within the Company, including safety promotion. The above mentioned commitment to a just and fair reporting culture is another example of an initiative that promotes the Company’s safety culture. These elements are integrated in the Company’s SMS action plan.

The Company also continues to innovate to benefit from technological evolutions to further enhance both operations and safety. All these initiatives lead to continuous improvement of the safety record. This is illustrated in statistics (below) showing that the latest fourth-generation jets are the safest. All of the Company’s fly-by-wire family aircraft (including A320, A330/ A340, A380, A350, A220 fleets) are the latest fourth-generation aircraft.

1.2.8 Cyber security

I. Introduction Cyber security risks have the potential to impact all business operations, employees, plus products and services if incorrectly managed – either in confidentiality, availability or integrity. As such, the Company undertakes a continual process of cyber security risk identification and remediation, supplemented with significant cyber security capabilities for the anticipation, prevention, detection and response to cyber threats and events. Cyber security risk management is a core element of modern organisations, thus the Company has developed state-of-the

art cyber capabilities for the defence, detection and response to emerging cyber threats. The cyber security paradigm adopts a compliance, regulatory and risk-based approach embedded across four asset bodies: IM, industrial, products and services, and people and workplace domains. Developing cyber security as a business function, with the relevant capabilities and stakeholders, ensures an evolutionary approach for continued protection against emerging threats and to support the business in securely enabling its digital transformation.
