I'm having difficulty with this last sentence, turned it around so many times and can't seem to find something I like!
The management of risks makes it our professional duty (?)
The management of risks makes us professionally responsible (??)
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks
Muriel

we make risk management our profession/our duty as a profession
I prefer the first of these options, although "duty" is omitted, I think it is safe to imply it in this context. It's just an idiomatic expression (or two)
You could also say "Risk management is what we do", perhaps?.
