Nemtek Gold have partnered with a global vendor utilising their structured intelligence software to conduct checks on a selection of suppliers the Company may consider to be high risk. The software provides a risk assessment report on the supplier covering aspects such as Know Your Customer, Anti-Money Laundering, organised crime, sanctions, bribery, corruption, major ESG incidents, and known people infractions. Supplier assessments also consider country-specific, sector-specific and/or commodity-specific risks.
