Compliance

At Alkagesta, compliance is not just a department – it is a core mindset embedded into every aspect of our operations.

Our Legal & Compliance Division ensures that integrity, transparency, and accountability define how we conduct business across all markets and subsidiaries.

Through a comprehensive compliance framework aligned with international best practices, we uphold the highest standards in:

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABC)
Anti-money laundering (AML)
Counter-terrorist financing (CFT)
Sanctions compliance and trade controls

This integrated approach reflects Alkagesta’s commitment to ethical, lawful, and transparent trading practices across its global operations.

Compliance Infrastructure and Tools

We employ advanced screening and monitoring systems such as World-Check, SeaSearcher, PurpleTrac, and MarineTraffic to conduct comprehensive due diligence on counterparties, vessels, and transactions.
These tools enable continuous sanctions screening, vessel tracking, beneficial ownership verification, and both annual and event-driven KYC reviews, forming part of our multi-layered risk management process.

Our due diligence framework ensures that every transaction complies with applicable UN, EU, OFAC, OFSI, and SECO sanctions regimes and relevant national regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate.

Governance and Oversight

Oversight of Alkagesta’s compliance program is exercised by the ESG & Compliance Committee, which reports directly to the Executive Board.
This structure guarantees independent authority and strategic alignment, ensuring that compliance decisions remain insulated from commercial considerations.

The Committee’s mandate includes policy oversight, risk assessment, and implementation monitoring across all group entities — maintaining consistency and accountability in every operational layer.

Policy Framework and Standards

Alkagesta’s Compliance Policy Framework covers:

Sanctions Compliance Guidelines aligned with UN, OFAC, EU, OFSI, and SECO requirements;
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) programs;
Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC) procedures; and
A Group-wide Code of Conduct governing all trading, finance, and corporate activities.

To reinforce organizational awareness, we conduct mandatory compliance training focused on sanctions, AML/CFT, ABC, and circumvention risk. These sessions are delivered both periodically and ad hoc, ensuring staff remain alert to emerging regulations and enforcement trends.

Culture of Ethical Accountability

Beyond policies and systems, Alkagesta fosters a culture of ethical accountability through transparent communication, regular training, and proactive risk assessment.
We perform independent audits, integrity reviews, and compliance risk evaluations to detect and address potential vulnerabilities before they escalate.

This forward-looking and disciplined approach safeguards Alkagesta’s reputation and supports the confidence of regulators, financial institutions, and global trading partners.

Commitment to Responsible Trading

Our compliance culture underpins every transaction, ensuring that Alkagesta’s operations remain fully transparent, traceable, and compliant with all international regulations.
This unwavering commitment strengthens our ability to conduct business responsibly, sustainably, and securely, protecting the trust placed in us by our counterparties, banks, and stakeholders worldwide.
