CERTIFICATION AND BEST PRACTICES
Our system is aligned with international standards such as ISO 37001 – Anti-Bribery Management Systems, which requires effective implementation of Due Diligence as a control and prevention tool.
Our Due Diligence System goes beyond the requirements of European regulation. It integrates the three key components of risk management:
- Access to relevant and verified information.
- Risk assessment based on objective criteria.
- Effective risk mitigation through internal controls.
All of this is backed by structured management systems designed to ensure regulatory compliance in a systematic and ongoing manner.
Assurance of a system compliant with applicable legal requirements
Strengthened confidence among consumers, partners, public authorities, and
financial institutions
Confianza reforzada ante consumidores, socios, autoridades públicas y entidades financieras
METHODS AND TOOLS WE USE
Our Due Diligence process enables in-depth analysis of both clients and suppliers, creating a secure and professional environment at every stage of negotiation. Key areas of analysis include:
-
Verification of financial capacity through ICPO (Intent to Purchase) and BCL (Bank Comfort Letter),
-
Review of reputation and commercial reports from specialized agencies,
-
Assessment of experience and track record in similar transactions,
-
Verification of mandate agreements and the legitimacy of representations.
We also leverage advanced technological tools such as the ISOTools Platform, which allows us to:
-
Systematically register and manage all Due Diligence documentation,
-
Conduct preventive investigations in the event of suspected bribery or improper commercial practices,
-
Support our Compliance Officer and other relevant departments, streamlining analysis and improving decision-making.
TRANSPARENCY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Once the process is complete, all parties involved in a transaction are connected directly—without intermediaries to ensure fluidity, efficiency, and security. All operations are conducted under the highest standards of confidentiality and data protection.
At SPFO, Compliance is not a mere obligation it’s a working philosophy. A strategic tool to operate safely, confidently, and sustainably in the global hydrocarbon market.
