Introduction
Kpler is a fast-growing data intelligence company facilitating sustainable and efficient trade.
From numerous disparate and unstructured sources, Kpler creates intelligence that brings
transparency in dynamic markets characterised by opaque and incomplete information, such as
commodity, gas, power and maritime. Kpler delivers market research on the complete value
chain of commodities.
As a global organisation, Kpler employs over 650 people and has offices in Austria, Belgium,
Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, the UAE, the UK, the USA, and Singapore. With over 1,000
customers, Kpler’s market coverage spans over 40 sectors, including liquids, dry bulk, freight,
and inventories.
Considering our role as a global leader in delivering Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions, the
significant control we exercise over our direct operations, and the office based nature of our
workforce, we consider Kpler’s exposure to modern slavery risks inherently low. We are
committed to ethical business practices and maintaining the highest standards of integrity,
including ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations
and/or our supply chain.
Our Policies and Processes in Relation to Modern Slavery
Our Code of Conduct articulates the purpose, values, and principles guiding our work and
complement our employment policies to support our human rights responsibilities, including
workers' rights. These guidelines address modern slavery risks by ensuring fair pay above local
living wages and setting company-wide standards for hybrid and remote working issues. We
foster a diverse and respectful environment, prohibiting discrimination, bullying, and
harassment, as outlined in the business principles of our Code of Conduct.
Our Whistleblower ‘Speak Up’ Policy offers employees and stakeholders an anonymous, secure
channel to report any concerns about unethical practices, including potential modern slavery or
forced labor. This policy enables us to address issues promptly, fostering accountability. We
actively encourage a "Speak Up" culture, where everyone feels empowered and supported to
raise concerns without fear of retaliation, contributing to a transparent and ethical organisational
environment.
Kpler recognises that modern slavery, including forced labor, human trafficking, and other forms of
exploitation, is often linked to financial crimes, such as money laundering and illicit financial
activities. Kpler implements robust financial crime risk management practices, including
comprehensive policies on Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Policy, Anti-Bribery & Corruption
(“ABC”) Policy, Sanctions and Export Controls Policy, which are applicable to all customers,
suppliers, and contractors. As part of our due diligence processes, we conduct thorough
end-to-end compliance and credit checks on potential and existing business partners, particularly
those considered to be in high-risk jurisdictions. In addition to ensuring compliance with sanctions
and financial stability, this vetting process mitigates the risk of indirect involvement in exploitative
practices.
Training and Awareness
We understand the importance of improving our employees' knowledge and equipping them to
recognise and address modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chains. To
achieve this, we aim to enhance vigilance through interactive training sessions in order to:
Whistleblower ‘Speak Up’ Policy.
We plan to continuously improve these programs by incorporating feedback, updating content
based on emerging risks, and using case studies to enhance learning where applicable. By
equipping our workforce with these resources, we aim to foster accountability and actively mitigate
modern slavery risks, upholding our commitment to ethical business practices.
