Stratos ESG Commitment

Our ESG Commitment

Integrity. Transparency. Accountability.

At Stratos Trading and Stratos Advisory, our mission extends beyond verification and consulting — it is rooted in creating a safer, more ethical global commodities market. ESG is not a branding exercise for us. It is the foundation of our business model.

We believe that the world’s most critical industries — energy, agriculture, and global trade — can only progress when trust, transparency, and responsible governance become standard practice.

1. Environmental Responsibility (E)

Although Stratos is a digital, advisory-focused company with no physical extraction or production footprint, we actively support environmental responsibility in the markets we serve.

Our Environmental Principles

• Digital-first operations to minimise carbon footprint

• Remote-centric workforce to reduce travel emissions

• Cloud-based infrastructure instead of physical servers

• Encouraging clients to prioritise compliant, lower-emission suppliers

• Supporting awareness of cleaner fuels and responsible sourcing

• Preferencing counterparties who maintain environmental certifications
  

We believe environmental stewardship begins with informed decision-making — and our verification frameworks help steer buyers toward responsible supply chains.

2. Social Impact (S)

Stratos operates in industries where fraud, misinformation, and unethical intermediaries can cause massive financial and operational harm. Our work directly protects people, businesses, and financial ecosystems.

Our Social Commitments

• Anti-fraud consulting that protects global buyers, SMEs, and investors

• Capacity building through training, education, and public insights

• Equal-opportunity hiring based on merit and capability

• Safe, flexible, remote-first work environment

• Zero tolerance for exploitation, discrimination, or unethical behaviour

• Data confidentiality and client protection as core principles
  

By reducing fraud and improving deal integrity, we contribute directly to safer, fairer international trade.

3. Governance Excellence (G)

Governance is the backbone of Stratos. Our services exist to promote transparency and correct structural weaknesses that allow fraud to thrive.

Our Governance Framework

• Strict due diligence and verification protocols

• Zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, or facilitation payments

• AML/KYC-aligned screening of counterparties

• Confidentiality standards for all documents and communication

• Clear internal decision-making and document-control processes

• Screening for sanctions, compliance issues, and restricted entities

• Advisory independence — our assessments are neutral and evidence-driven
  

Stratos supports a global trading environment built on truth, responsible conduct, and transparent decision-making.

4. Alignment with Global Standards

Stratos aligns its practices with recognised international ESG principles and standards.

Supported Frameworks

• UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  • SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth

  • SDG 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions

• ISO 37001: Anti-Bribery Management (values-aligned)

• ISO 27001: Information Security (values-aligned)
  

These frameworks guide how we design policies, assess suppliers, and support clients.

5. ESG Progress Report

Stratos will publish an annual ESG brief outlining:

• Our verified-impact initiatives
