Seymar’s Ethics and Compliance programme ensures that all business activities, from soft commodities trading to freight and logistics services, are conducted in full compliance with laws, regulations, and ethical standards, promoting a culture of integrity throughout the company.
Our Commitment to Integrity and Global Compliance
At Seymar, we are fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, ethics, and integrity in all aspects of our operations. As a global soft commodities trading company, we ensure that every transaction, from sourcing to logistics, adheres not only to local laws and regulations but also to internationally recognized standards and best practices.
Our trade activities are conducted in full compliance with international export control laws, including regulations such as the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the European Union Dual-Use Regulation. We strictly respect all sanctions and embargoes imposed by international authorities, including the United Nations, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union, and the United Kingdom, thereby preventing prohibited trade and ensuring responsible operations worldwide.
Seymar maintains a rigorous Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) framework. We perform thorough due diligence on all clients, suppliers, and partners and continuously monitor transactions to detect any suspicious activity, in accordance with global FATF recommendations and applicable local regulations.
We strictly follow international trade standards, ensuring proper application of Incoterms for all shipments and maintaining complete and accurate documentation for contracts, invoices, packing lists, and shipping papers. These practices support transparency, risk mitigation, and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
Given that our commodities often involve food products, we prioritize food safety and quality by implementing HACCP principles, adhering to ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 standards, and following Codex Alimentarius guidelines. This ensures that every product we trade meets global expectations for safety, purity, and consistency.
Seymar is deeply committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We promote responsible sourcing practices in line with internationally recognized initiatives, such as RSPO for palm products and Bonsucro for sugar, and we ensure that all our logistics and packaging processes comply with environmental regulations.
In addition, all transport and logistics activities are conducted in compliance with internationalmaritime regulations, including the IMDG Code for dangerous goods, SOLAS, ISPS, and IMO guidelines, as well as local port and customs regulations. This ensures that our shipments are handled safely, securely, and reliably.
Ethical conduct is central to our corporate culture. Seymar strictly adheres to global anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, the UK Bribery Act, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity across all business relationships.
Furthermore, we respect fair labor standards and responsible supplier practices, and we comply fully with local and international tax and financial reporting obligations, thereby reinforcing our commitment to legal and ethical excellence.
Through these comprehensive measures, Seymar demonstrates its dedication to safe, transparent, and responsible trading of soft commodities, fostering trust and long-termpartnerships with clients and stakeholders across the globe.
