PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND INTEGRITY

PETROZA ENERGY SOLUTIONS — PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND INTEGRITY

Opening statement

PETROZA ENERGY SOLUTIONS is committed to absolute integrity, uncompromising compliance, and principled leadership in every market where we operate. We will not tolerate corruption, fraud, impersonation, misrepresentation, or any activity that harms people, partners, communities, or the reputation of the energy sector. This is a non‑negotiable position: our business decisions, partnerships and transactions are governed by law, ethics and transparency.

Our pledge

We operate with honesty, stewardship and accountability. We refuse to participate in or benefit from unlawful or deceptive practices. We protect human dignity, uphold financial integrity and defend the reputation of our partners, clients and host countries.

What this means in practice

• Zero tolerance: No bribes, kickbacks, facilitation payments, or illicit incentives will be offered, accepted or tolerated.

• Transparent relationships: All counterparties must pass PETROZA’s due diligence and contractual integrity tests before we transact.

• Verified payments: Payments are made only to verified corporate bank accounts following strict verification protocols.

• Sanctions and export control compliance: We will not engage with sanctioned parties or violate export control laws.

• No tolerance for impersonation: Any attempt to impersonate PETROZA or our partners is a criminal matter and will be pursued to the fullest extent.

• Whistleblower protection: Reporters of suspected wrongdoing will be protected, and retaliation will result in strict disciplinary action.

Core commitments

• Board accountability: Our Board provides active oversight and receives regular assurance on compliance.

• Resourced compliance: We maintain a dedicated Chief Compliance Officer and operational team with independence and authority.

• Risk‑based controls: Due diligence and monitoring are proportionate to the risk presented by counterparties, jurisdictions and transactions.

• Prompt action: Suspected misconduct results in immediate holds on transactions, investigations, and remediation.

• Transparency: Material incidents will be reported to regulators, affected partners and, where appropriate, publicly disclosed.

• Continuous improvement: Training, audits and independent assurance are embedded in our governance cycle.

Expectations of our partners and suppliers

Every company, agent, broker, logistics provider or individual who does business with PETROZA must:

• Submit to PETROZA’s third‑party due diligence and ongoing screening.

• Contractually accept anti‑corruption, audit and termination clauses.

• Maintain accurate books and records and comply with AML/CFT standards.

• Cooperate fully with investigations and remedial actions.
  Failure to meet these standards will result in termination, legal action and, if required, reporting to authorities.

How we act on reports and red flags

• Immediate containment: Hold transactions and preserve evidence when red flags appear.

• Independent investigations: Cases are investigated impartially by Compliance/Internal Audit and, where needed, external experts.

• Corrective remedies: Disciplinary measures, contract terminations, recoveries and law enforcement referrals are used as appropriate.

• Lessons learned: Corrective controls are implemented and shared across the organisation to prevent recurrence.

Practical safeguards you will see from PETROZA

• Mandatory Code of Conduct for all personnel and affiliates.

• Publicly enforced Anti‑Corruption Clause in all contracts.

• Centralised third‑party screening and a scoring matrix that affects onboarding decisions. 

• Secure, confidential whistleblowing channels with guaranteed non‑retaliation.

• Strict bank verification and payment controls to prevent diversion of funds. 

• Regular training for staff and role‑specific workshops for high‑risk teams.

Consequences (clear and non‑negotiable)

Breaches of these standards result in proportionate and decisive action up to and including:

• Employment termination and contractual termination for third parties.

• Civil recovery, suspension of business and public disclosure.

• Criminal referral and cooperation with law enforcement and regulatory authorities.
