8. Evaluation of the Company's situation including assessment of the internal control system and the risk management system, the compliance and internal audit function.

Enea SA generated a positive net financial result in 2016 which totalled to PLN 620,243 thou. and was higher than the result generated in the previous year by PLN 1,737,131 thou. The main reason for such a deviation was incurring the net loss in 2015, resulting from a write-down due to a decrease in the value of shares in Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. for the amount of PLN 2,089,754 thou. The net profitability ratio in 2016 was 11.4% (in 2015: -20.6%), and return on equity was 5.7% (in 2015: -10.9%).

In 2016 the total sale of energy to retail users amounted to 16.7 TWh. The number of end customers as at 31 December 2016 was approximately 2.4 million and it is on a level comparable to previous years.

In 2016 Enea SA had the financial resources ensuring support for all ongoing expenses associated to the Company's operations. The balance of available funds allowed the flexible implementation of current liabilities.

The major objective of the aforesaid evaluation was to review the internal control system at the Company level using the COSO I methodology and based on the generally applicable internal control and risk management standards.

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the operation of the Audit Committee is an important element of the internal control system which was responsible, among others, for monitoring of the financial reporting process and of the efficiency of the internal control systems, internal audit and the risk management.

In the reporting period, the Audit Committee, in particular:

In order to ensure the adequate level of independence of the audit function, the Supervisory Board approved of the annual audit plan, the annual budget of the audit unit and – if necessary – issued an opinion on electing, appointing or recalling the head of the internal audit office.

The risk management model implemented in Enea CG assumes a comprehensive coverage of the issue of risk management, specifying detailed rules of identification and assessment of risks, monitoring exposures to risks and preparation and monitoring of plans of procedure with risks key for the Company. Adopted rules are set based on the highest managerial standards and are compliant with best market practices being in force within this area.

In the course of auditing the internal control system, within the corporate risk and business continuity management, the Company identified areas where the existing internal control mechanisms can be further improved.

The following activities were undertaken in the compliance area:

Enea SA in 2016 continued the earlier commenced process of developing and implementing Enea Group's Compliance Policy (Compliance Policy). As a public company, Enea SA takes due care for the transparency and clarity of its operations and promoting positive ethical patterns. Taking into account the expectations of its shareholders, and having in mind the needs of the business environment, the company constantly improves the area of a no compliance risk which is a considerable element of a responsible management.

The supreme object of Enea Group's Compliance Policy, which took effect as of 1 January 2016, is to achieve and maintain such an organisational level to ensure the maximum degree of elimination of prospective threats that occur in the organisation as a result of failure to adapt the operations to the legal regulations and standards in force.

The Compliance Policy covers all the employees and its scope includes e.g. promoting ethical behaviours, making Enea Group Employees aware of the requirements resulting from the legal regulations and internal by-laws, and also ensuring that the potential conflict or existing conflict of interests will be identified on the possibly earliest stage. Additionally, in the Compliance Policy the standards were defined of the ethical procedure in relations with customers and business partners of the Company.

A significant element building the Compliance Policy is also the implemented earlier Codes of Conduct and Values of Enea Capital Group which constitute a set of formal principles which are important at work and which propagate observance of an ethical conduct and also set patterns of conduct for employees of Enea Group.

A Commission for Enea Capital Group's Code of Conduct was also appointed in the Group which controls the observance of ethical values. The Commission's duties include considering any matters mentioned in the Company's normative acts which relate to ethical issues reported both by employees and contractors.

In 2016, in order to promote the knowledge of the Compliance Policy and also regulations as regards accepting and giving gifts, a programme of obligatory e-learning trainings was launched for the Group's employees. The above was to raise the knowledge and awareness of employees relating to a risk of no compliance and as regards the observance of professional ethics. Each new employee is also covered with the range of these trainings.

The Company's Supervisory Board, assessing the efficiency of tools applied from within this scope, issues a positive opinion on the operations relating to the implementation of comprehensive solutions as regards strengthening of the system of internal control and compliance, paying attention to the fact that their implementation is part of the principles fulfilled by the Company and included in the amended set.

  • information pertaining to corporate governance published on the corporate website of Enea SA,

The Supervisory Board monitors the implementation of sponsorship activities in conformity with the "Rules for conducting sponsorship activities in Enea Group" in force at the Company and on the basis of the "Best Practices within sponsorship activities of companies with the State Treasury shareholding" published on 15 June 2016.
