Our position
Environmental certificates only have value if the market behind them is clean.
Integrity isn’t a slogan for us — it’s the operating system.
This policy explains how we trade, what we disclose, what we never conceal, and how we protect the credibility of every certificate that passes through our hands.
What “market integrity” means to us
It means:
- following market rules and registry procedures exactly
- no artificial price manipulation
- no misrepresentation of certificate type, origin, or eligibility
- no “special treatment” for counterparties
- no hidden margins or side arrangements
- no selective disclosure that tilts the market
- no trading behaviour that would embarrass a regulator
It’s straightforward: honesty creates liquidity. Everything else destroys it.
Our trading principles
Whenever we execute a trade, we follow these five commitments:
1. Price clarity
We state upfront what the price is, what it covers, and what it doesn’t.
No fuzzy rounding. No surprise add-ons.
2. Accurate product representation
REGOs, RGGOs, GOs, I-RECs — whatever the instrument, we describe:
- technology
- country
- period
- volume
- eligibility
- sustainability tags (where applicable)
Exactly as recorded in the registry. No embellishments. No shortcuts.
3. Clean flow of certificates
We only trade:
- certificates held in compliant registries
- certificates we can legally transfer
- certificates with provenance we can verify
Nothing speculative. Nothing “off ledger.” Nothing without a traceable chain.
4. Fair dealing
We treat all counterparties consistently.
We do not:
- set different prices based on insider information
- favour one buyer over another in a way that distorts the market
- engineer scarcity
- distort timing to extract advantage
5. Record-keeping that stands up to scrutiny
We maintain clear audit trails of:
- offers
- acceptances
- transfers
- settlements
- supporting documentation
If a regulator ever knocked, we wouldn’t need to tidy the room first.
Transparency commitments
We believe clarity increases confidence, which increases liquidity.
So we maintain:
1. Transparent fee and margin structure
We show counterparties:
- what they are paying
- what we earn
- what is included
- what is optional
No hidden brokerage. No concealed spreads.
2. Trade confirmations that are painfully clear
Each confirmation includes:
- product
- period
- volume
- price
- registry
- delivery method
- settlement terms
If anything is unclear, it’s rewritten.
3. Clear counterparty communication
We share material information that affects:
- eligibility
- availability
- timelines
- regulatory changes
- market constraints
We do not hoard information to manipulate outcomes.
What we never do
Just to remove all doubt:
- we never “front run” or trade on private order flow
- we never promise allocations we can’t deliver
- we never mislabel origin or technology type
- we never buy for resale without telling you
- we never engage in wash trades or artificial volume
- we never set prices to send false market signals
- we never structure trades to avoid registry oversight
If a behaviour feels like something you shouldn’t read aloud in front of a regulator, we don’t do it.
Handling of errors or discrepancies
Certificate data errors happen.
What matters is how they’re handled.
When issues arise, we:
- Acknowledge the problem immediately
- Investigate the source
- Correct it transparently
- Notify affected counterparties
- Fix the underlying process so it doesn’t repeat
We don’t bury mistakes; we disinfect them.
Monitoring and audits
We run internal checks on:
- trade execution
- settlement timelines
- registry activity
- counterparty records
- approvals
- staff activity
We also welcome periodic external audits.
A clean business doesn’t fear someone looking under the hood.

Why this matters for the sector
Environmental markets are fragile.
One sloppy actor can undermine confidence across the board.
We choose to be the counterparty you never have to second-guess — the one you hope takes the other side of your trade, because you know exactly how we operate.
Integrity is good ethics.
But more importantly: integrity is good business.
