Conflicts of Interest Policy

Since launch, BeZero has institutionalised robust processes to ensure it identifies, manages and mitigates any actual and or potential conflict of interest as regards its ratings. These processes include pre-employment checks, in-employment declarations, conflicts register, pre-rating checks, off-boarding checks, segregation of duties between analytical and commercial functions, processes around all rating actions, prohibition of the sales of carbon credits, and restrictions and disclosure on financial interest in carbon markets. This policy is designed to avoid actual conflicts of interest as well as the perception of conflicts of interest, and applies to all staff at BeZero Carbon.
