Firms should also consider sharing suspicious inquiries that they receive with the project team. Doing so can have significant benefits in helping firms across the board to prevent illicit trade.
The project team has experience dealing with this type of sensitive information and has strict research ethics and data protection protocols in place to ensure information is secure. Firms will be asked how their information may be used: in a named case study, such as the piece detailing Rakon UK’s work to prevent illicit trade, in an anonomised case study such as this, or just for background information.
Note: Project Alpha is governed by both data protection laws and research ethics considerations. Any information provided to the project will be treated as confidential unless otherwise agreed. Any information or guidance received from Alpha should not be viewed as legal advice: while every effort will be made to ensure information is correct at the time of its provision, it is for your company to ensure that you meet all legally-binding obligations when conducting business and / or trade.
