My name is Ahmed Sekti Adinata (Ahmed). I joined KCH in October 2021 as the Head of Corporate Planning and Compliance and have been with the company for one year. I am currently in charge of three Divisions within the Department: Corporate Planning, Risk Management, and Internal Audit.

My primary responsibilities as the Head of Corporate Planning & Compliance at KCH are as follows:

1. Assist the KCH President Director in ensuring that the company’s Plan-DoCheck-Act (PDCA) cycle is followed in accordance with the established strategic directions, and assist each Department in translating the strategic directions into operational levels.
2. Lead the implementation of the risk management cycle, which includes risk identification, risk assessment, and risk mitigation. Ensure that the key risks are identified, assessed, and monitored at each PDCA phase.
3. Ensure that risk-based internal audit activities are carried out in response to identified and assessed risks.
4. Oversee project management and continuous improvement across all business lines for value creation (increase revenue/reduce cost/reduce risk).
5. Become a strategic partner for all Departments in terms of questions, consultations, and training requirements.
6. Promote risk culture by providing risk education in order to build a strong risk management ecosystem, raise risk awareness among all employees, and embed the mindset “Risk Management is everyone’s business”.
7. Establish strong collaboration with other functions because collaboration is critical to the success of risk management implementation.

On a larger scale, my team and I, along with all Risk Management PICs from all Kalbe SBUs, actively participate in the Kalbe Risk Forum. Furthermore, among all Kalbe SBUs, KCH has been recognized as “The Best Risk Management Implementation in 2021.” In 2022, the KCH Risk Management Team became a role model for all Kalbe SBUs, and we were frequently invited as guest speakers at the Kalbe Risk Forum to share our knowledge of risk management best practices implemented at KCH.

Some of the risk management achievements that My Team and I have made since I joined KCH are as follows:

1. Established a new risk management cycle at KCH, thereby driving risk management transformation at KCH (the new face and rejuvenation of KCH risk management).
2. KCH has been named the “Best Risk Management Implementation in 2021” among all Kalbe SBUs.
3. Risk management implementation has enabled KCH to be agile and resilient in the face of the Pandemic, resulting in strong business growth in 2021. KCH was able to achieve a strong performance (double-digit sales growth in 2021 – 11.2% growth compared to 2020) after previously achieving a low sales growth of 3.2% in 2020 due to pandemic.
4. The implementation of risk management has enabled KCH to be recognized as The Best SBU in 2021.
5. In 2022, the KCH Risk Management Team became a role model for all Kalbe SBUs, and we were frequently invited as guest speakers at the Kalbe Risk Forum to share our knowledge of risk management best practices implemented at KCH.
6. As of YTD Aug 2022, KCH also shows strong growth of 10.27% compared to last year, with sales achievement at 104.4% compared to YTD target (budget).
7. Previously, KCH did not have a whistleblowing system. The Risk Management and Internal Audit Team launched a whistleblowing hotline named “SUARA ANDA” in July 2022. The launch of a whistleblowing system is part of KCH management’s commitment to zero tolerance for fraudulent acts.
8. In August 2022 we launched DIMARI (Diskusi Manajemen Risiko), an internal risk forum at KCH. This internal risk forum is held bimonthly and serves as a channel for employees to share/brainstorm their risk management experience and consult on how they address risks in their respective areas.
9. As of YTD August 2022, Risk Management Team have successfully addressed key risks from each Department and discussed mitigation plans with President Director and all senior leadership team in the regular management review to have strong strategies for KCH Business Success in the Remainder of 2022 amidst Global Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA).
