Due diligence
Our operations rest on a prudent “Know-Your-Counterparty” (KYC) evaluation prior to execution of any contract or engagement in formal business dealings. In so doing, we seek to take a measured and conservative approach to our risk management.
Our KYC evaluation is multifaceted, designed to understand our counterparty’s commercial strength, compliance standing, and extending to incorporate our own sense of ethics into our assessment.
