“NAM UK business and supply chain contractual arrangements are subject to a thorough due diligence process, both before the business relationship commences and on an ongoing basis. This includes a risk assessment which takes account of the type of service to be provided, the jurisdiction of the counterparty and its regulatory status if appropriate, and any conflicts of interest which may arise. We may also use input from global resources and bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force, Transparency International and third party screening services with links to global sanctions and watchlists, Politically Exposed Persons databases and adverse media screening facilities.”
