Yannick Poivey and Nicolas Leroux are joining the Zug Commodity Association (ZCA) this week to discuss alternative ways for commodity trading firms to get a better understanding of their trading counterparties, employees and suppliers.

In their presentation, they will focus on how commodity trading firms can leverage corporate intelligence techniques to support and enhance their internal due diligence capabilities. Increased regulatory and reputational scrutiny makes it ever more important for market participants to know their counterparties. Internal compliance teams can cover most use cases but it is sometimes necessary to go a step beyond.

Yannick and Nicolas will set out how corporate intelligence techniques such as site visits, discrete enquiries and open source intelligence can help commodity trading firms know their trading counterparties, employees and suppliers better.
