Risk Management
Compliance
Our ability to effectively manage the risk inherent
in commodities trading is fundamental to Gunvor’s
continued development and stability. It contributes to
our positive financial performance and helps mitigate
earnings volatility.
The regulatory landscape in which Gunvor operates
is becoming ever more consistent, comprehensive
and transparent. We wholeheartedly support such
developments and are proactive in refining our
procedures to ensure compliance.
F
inancial, operational and market risks are an integral
element of commodities trading and physical supply.
They cannot be wholly avoided, but can be planned
for and managed. Gunvor maintains sophisticated risk
management systems, processes and controls. Risk policies
are determined centrally, exposures are analyzed daily, and
our procedures are continuously reviewed and updated.
Gunvor applies a range of risk management tools to minimize
overall exposure at any one point in time. These include:
•
Financial derivative instruments to hedge commodity
price and foreign currency exchange rate risks
•
Insurance to hedge various operational risks including
freight-related and political risks
•
Due diligence prior to acquisition and good management
after acquisition to hedge environmental risks
•
Ready access to sufficient capital and funding to hedge
liquidity risk
•
Strict policies and procedures to hedge counterparty
relationships, fraud and regulatory risks
B
eing a physical energy trader, Gunvor is subject to
oversight from more than 70 regulatory authorities
worldwide. Virtually every aspect of our business is
affected to a greater or lesser degree by regulations
covering health and safety, insurance, emission and
environmental control, product, cargo and financial crime,
international trade and sanctions, and banking, exchange and
derivatives market rules.
To ensure compliance within such an extensive and constantly
evolving regulatory environment, we maintain rigorous
corporate protocols and a strict compliance program. This
activity is overseen by our Compliance Department, which
provides oversight, advice and training for Gunvor trading
centers worldwide. In all operations, Gunvor adheres to the
laws and regulations to which it is subject, both international
and local, in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
Gunvor is proactive in addressing
evolving compliance standards.
This includes taking steps to
strengthen contract language
with counterparties to enhance
contractual prohibitions against
trading with countries and entities
under economic sanctions.

Safety, Health, Environment
0%
Zero Incident Goal:
no accidents and no damage to the
environment
Gunvor assigns the highest priority to preserving
the health, well-being and safety of our people, our
customers and communities affected by our operations;
as well as respecting and protecting the environment
in the countries within which we do business. We aim
for a zero incident approach: no accidents, protection
of our staff and no damage to the environment.
A
t Gunvor, we are committed to the following
principles and expect all who work in our business
to act in accordance with them:
Prevention of Injuries, Incidents & Occupational Illnesses
We believe that injuries, incidents, and occupational illnesses
are preventable and that incident and near miss reporting
and investigation are of fundamental importance in their
prevention.
Promoting Environmental Protection
By operating our business in the most efficient way we
work to reduce the impact on the environment and the local
communities that surround our operating entities. Our aim is to
work in harmony with our surroundings and to provide economic
benefit to local communities, our customers and suppliers.
20 GUNVORGROUP.COM | @GUNVOR
Compliance with Laws, Regulations & Gunvor Standards
We have clear safety, health, environmental, human rights
and community expectations within our corporate governance
structure. All Gunvor entities are required to adhere to these
corporate expectations and to comply with all applicable
laws and regulations. We also aim to promote Gunvor
expectations across our supply chain, where possible.
Learning
We have programs in place that encourage learning from
incidents. Although we are promoting a zero-harm vision, we
understand that incidents can happen, but will do all that we
can to avoid their repetition.
Continuous Improvement & Commitment
High standards required in all areas of safety, health
and environment require continuous improvement and
commitment by everyone.
Gunvor maintains clear safety,
health, environmental, human
rights and community expectations
within our corporate governance
structure.
Auditing, Monitoring & Corrective Action
We are committed to setting objectives and targets, auditing,
monitoring, sampling and implementing corrective actions to
ensure full compliance with our corporate expectations.
Personal Responsibility
We all have a personal responsibility to prevent harm to
ourselves, others, and the environment. Safety, good health
and concern for the environment are equally important away
from work and are encouraged.

us the capability to respond effectively to market trends
and create added flexibility for realizing arbitrage opportunities.
An important aspect of our logistical resource is Clearlake

charterers of tanker vessels in the world. Clearlake Shipping
operates around a fleet of high quality tankers, gas carriers and
dry-bulk vessels to accommodate our needs and also those of
third-party customers.

including Risk, Trading and Financial systems, which
consolidate trading positions and financial exposures
globally on a daily basis. These allow management to monitor
Gunvor’s overall exposure and adopt appropriate measures
on a timely basis. Our operations- and assets-related activities
are supported by an array of specialist applications, enabling
global functions to work harmoniously regardless of location.
Gunvor employs a range of globally
consistent corporate systems to
support its core business. These
include systems for commodities
trading,

F
rom inception, Gunvor has been successful in
building long-term relationships in the financial
sector and diversifying its banking partnerships.
Today we work with more than 70 leading global
financial institutions. As a growing business with interests
throughout the world, Gunvor has always sought to
establish local partnerships for its investments, such
as establishing an independent revolving credit facility
specifically for Asia, and creating borrowing bases in the
Middle East and the Americas to finance trading operations
in those regions. Such an approach has benefited our
year-on-year profitability and enabled us to increase
credit lines even through the global financial crisis. Our
culture is one of financial prudence. We maintain a strong
liquidity position and our assets are optimally financed.
Gunvor was the first trading house
to establish a factoring program
as means of diversifying financial
support for oil refining operations.
The deal, which was established
with GE Capital for our Ingolstadt
refinery, was the largest single
receivable finance program in
Germany.

Transalpine (TAL) Pipeline
Pipelines & Storage
Investments in pipeline and storage assets provide us with the logistical
flexibility to efficiently place different crude grades into various markets,
enabling us to quickly take advantage of arbitrage opportunities.
Gunvor has a minority stake in the Transalpine Pipeline
(TAL). This is of strategic importance in securing
supplies to the land-locked Gunvor Refinery Ingolstadt
in Germany. The 753-kilometer pipeline connects the
Port of Trieste in Italy (via Italy, Austria and Germany)
to the German states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
TAL is managed to ensure that each refinery connected
to it receives the required quality and quantity
of oil at the scheduled times.

Petroterminal de Panama
Gunvor holds a minority stake in Petroterminal de
Panama. The company’s primary asset is a pipeline
with a 600,000 barrels per day throughput capacity that
links the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. There are also
storage locations at both ends of the pipeline with a total
of around 9 million barrels split approximately equally
between the two coasts. The pipeline offers a shortcut for crude cargoes around Latin America and an
alternative to the Panama Canal. It gives us increased
sourcing opportunities, a market presence in the
Americas and access to additional storage capacity.

C
oal is a central aspect of Gunvor’s long-term growth
strategy. Massive increases in electricity generation
capacity are expected for emerging markets, which
will only be possible with a significant contribution from
coal—a fact that is particularly true for China, India and Central
Asia. Gunvor’s coal assets are well positioned to supply these
markets. We also maintain a full portfolio of offerings, including
high quality steam coal, coking coal and anthracite.
