## Principles

- **Integrity**: We deal honestly and keep to professional standards in every relationship.
- **Accountability**: Each decision has an owner who answers for it.
- **Transparency**: We give counterparties clear and accurate information.
- **Responsibility**: We take account of the wider duties that come with working in the energy industry.

## How a decision is made

1. **Consideration**: The commercial, operational, financial and compliance questions are identified.
2. **Evaluation**: The information available is weighed against the requirements that apply.
3. **Decision**: The person with authority for the matter decides.
4. **Review**: The decision is followed through and the result is fed back.

Review feeds the next decision, so the cycle repeats.

## Compliance and responsibility

We conduct our business under the laws that apply to it, including sanctions and anti-money-laundering rules. We review the counterparties we deal with, and we expect them to review us.

Petroleum products are hazardous goods. Where we coordinate storage, transfer or transport, we work with operators who are responsible for the safety and environmental rules of their own facilities.
