Compliance

Working with external providers to ensure compliance

“In a compliance landscape that is constantly adapting to meet emerging opportunities and threats, businesses have to carefully address both their own compliance and that of their supply chains, which may vary. At Starion, we recognise three fundamental realities when it comes to compliance:

  • Compliance obligations apply to all of us – we all have a vested interest in achieving and maintaining compliance
  • Compliance is not a ‘one size fits all’ – every business is different and how each one embeds compliance into its operations and structures reflects that
  • For our external providers, your business is your business – how you run it is for you to define and shape, not for us to mandate.

“Our External Provider Standards cover key compliance themes relevant to both our business and yours: they are the bedrock of our compliance relationship with you. They derive from identified shared compliance objectives, frame open and transparent dialogue, and help you show us how you meet those objectives within your business.

“We pride ourselves on working with external providers who consciously embed compliance into their business, from their supporting structures to their everyday ways of working, and trust them to know and do the right things. That trust sits at the heart of these standards.”
