Greater standardization, with shorter lead times, reduces exposure tothe risk <strong>of</strong> fluctuations in market demand.Due to lengthy planning and permitting processes, ample lead timeis required to ensure a supply <strong>of</strong> building rights for construction thatwill meet demand.Commercial Property Development manages risks connectedwith external factors, customers’ space needs and the willingness <strong>of</strong>investors to buy commercial properties. By means <strong>of</strong> frequent customercontacts, <strong>Skanska</strong> tracks the space requirements <strong>of</strong> customerscontinuously.Risks are limited because the Commercial Property Developmentand Residential Development business streams have established ceilingson how much capital may be tied up in holdings in projects thathave not been pre-leased or sold.Investments made in Infrastructure Development require efficientrisk management during the development phase, that is, before andafter financial close.During the construction phase, the greatest risk is that the assetcannot go into service on schedule and that quality standards are notmet. Depending on the type <strong>of</strong> asset, there are risks during the entiresteady state phase, which may extend over decades. Examples <strong>of</strong> suchrisks are external factors — demographic, environmentally relatedand financial — that are managed during the service life <strong>of</strong> a project.There is also a risk that life-cycle costs and operating and maintenancecosts will exceed the forecasts that were made.For a further account <strong>of</strong> material risks and uncertainty factors, seeNote 2, “Key estimates and judgments.” Financial risks are describedin Note 6, “Financial instruments and financial risk management.”Ongoing litigation is described in Note 33, “Assets pledged, contingentliabilities and contingent assets.”Corporate governance reportThis corporate governance report for <strong>2012</strong> has been reviewed by theCompany’s external auditors in compliance with Chapter 9, Section 31<strong>of</strong> the Swedish Companies Act.
