Risk Management​

We aim to perform in all aspects of the risk management spectrum. We continue to invest in our infrastructure through strategic Energy Trading & Risk Management (ETRM) systems. Our human capital is engrained with a corporate culture stressing the values of accountability, responsibility and communication at all levels of the organization.

Risk management functions are distinctively separated and independent from front office. Risks are reported to the highest level of the company management. We utilize a wide range of techniques and metrics at corporate, portfolio or trading level. Our robust control process covers the entire life cycle of risk from inception to settlement.

Global energy markets regularly fluctuate causing movement in fuel price, risk management helps you to minimize your risk, stabilize your business and protects you from unexpected changes in the cost of fuel.

Our finance team consists of highly qualified and experienced professionals who
constantly monitor all the major oil markets worldwide. In doing so they are able to provide you with vital, up-to-date information and are well adept to react to volatile market changes.

Credit risk is assiduously managed by our Credit Department, providing a vital link between corporate risk management functions and the front office. The department provides necessary checks and balances to facilitate new opportunities while also mitigating our ongoing counterparty, sector and country credit risks.
