Independence & Compliance

Periplus maintains strict independence: no equity interests, trading positions or contingent stakes in matters on which it advises. Each mandate is screened for conflicts, ethics and independence before acceptance. Its work combines human-source collection, contextual interpretation and strategic advice.

Independent collection remains separate from authorised engagement. Periplus does not use its source relationships to lobby or procure official decisions. Support for client engagement and negotiation is expressly authorised, separately scoped and reviewed for applicable legal requirements. Decisions and commitments remain with the client; legal and technical advice remains with the relevant specialists.

Engagements are conducted in accordance with applicable sanctions, anti-corruption, data protection and modern-slavery law, including relevant UK, US, EU and local requirements. Anti-bribery policies reflect the standards underpinning the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. The firm’s approach to modern slavery and human rights is informed by the UK Modern Slavery Act and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, both in its own conduct and in the diligence it performs for clients.

Periplus tailors its protocols, including network and associate agreements, to the requirements of each mandate and the jurisdictions involved, working alongside the client’s legal advisers and compliance function.
