Independence & Compliance

Periplus maintains strict independence: no equity interests, no trading positions, and no contingent stakes in matters on which it advises. Periplus does not make representations to officials, introduce clients to them, or seek to influence official decisions. Its role is intelligence, synthesis, and advisory judgement.

Engagements are conducted under UK, US, and EU sanctions and anti-corruption regimes, the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, and applicable data protection law. Periplus operates to modern-slavery and human-rights standards, including the UK Modern Slavery Act and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, in its own conduct and in the diligence it performs for clients. Where an engagement is governed by a specific jurisdiction’s law, Periplus aligns its protocols, including its network and associate agreements, to that regime and works alongside the client’s own legal advisers and compliance function. Each mandate is screened for conflicts, ethics, and independence before acceptance.
