and ethics.

Our position, the boundary we hold, and the commitments we work to.

§ A — Position

No stake in the answer.

Meridian is a consultancy, not a broker.

Assurance is only worth having if the adviser has no interest in the outcome. We do not arrange, facilitate or profit from the transactions we examine.

Outside our role.

  • 01We do not broker, arrange or facilitate transactions.
  • 02We do not classify goods or determine licensability.
  • 03We do not certify against the standards we align to.
  • 04We do not give legal advice.
§ C — Commitments

Four commitments.

CandourFindings are reported as the evidence shows, including what a client may not wish to hear.
Structured reviewEvery deliverable passes a fixed second review against the standard before release.
ConfidentialityClient information is held securely and shared only as the work requires.
Lawful purposeWork that would require us to broker, classify or certify is declined.

We have no financial interest in any transaction we examine.

Container port elevation A densely detailed front-elevation line drawing of a container port in brass on deep navy. A large container ship with a raked bow, hull plating, draft marks and an accommodation block carries eleven bays of stacked containers. Two ship-to-shore gantry cranes stand on the quay: one with its latticed boom lowered over the ship, a trolley and a container suspended on the spreader, the other with its boom raised. To the right a rail-mounted gantry spans stacked yard containers. Water is drawn as layered wave lines with reflections; the quay carries crane rails, bollards, fenders and mooring lines.
