that is consistent with our values and our principles. Mercuria’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy
establishes a comprehensive set of mandatory guidelines and procedures for Mercuria, including all of
its employees, subsidiaries, and intermediaries, to establish guidelines for how to handle situations that
could potentially be construed as bribery. It is the policy of Mercuria to comply with the United Kingdom
Bribery Act of 2010 (UKBA), the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), as well as anticorruption laws and regulations of all other countries in which the firm conducts business. Mercuria
complies with anti-bribery and corruption legislation and guidelines to ensure fair and proper business
conduct in the marketplace.
In addition, Mercuria’s Compliance Program includes a policy and procedure governing the onboarding
process for brokers, intermediaries, and the formation of joint ventures. The process enables an
enhanced KYC process for these categories of partners. This ensures that anyone undertaking or
facilitating business activity in this capacity understands Mercuria’s Anti-Bribery/ Anti-Corruption
policy, is able to identify actions that could be considered to be bribery or corrupt in nature, and agree
to not engage in such actions.
