To consider a report setting out the Corporate Risk Register.

The Committee considered a report setting out the Council’s Corporate Risk Register. 

The Corporate Risk Register identified the main high level risks faced by the Council in relation to achieving its objectives and priorities and any mitigating actions that were being taken to control these risks.  The register was reviewed and updated on an annual basis.

In relation to identified risk 8, TEEP, the Committee was informed that investigations by the Surrey Waste Partnership had found that the Council’s approach to collecting co-mingled recyclates was an appropriate approach that was both TEEP compliant and ensured that value for money was achieved.  This work was now being used across the County by other authorities to support their continuance of co-mingled recyclates collections.  It was stressed that whilst Surrey Heath Borough Council had responsibility for waste collection responsibility for waste disposal in Surrey lay with the County Council.  Consequently it was the County Council who carried any risk associated with changes in commodity prices.

RESOLVED that:

      i.        The Corporate Risk Register be approved

     ii.        No further mitigation actions be recommended

    iii.        The Corporate Risk Register is reviewed by the Audit and Standards Committee in twelve months time.
