Membership signals your organisation actively supports a culture of compliance, expertise and ethical conduct.

Strengthen your compliance culture

Wholesale energy markets are complex and subject to strict regulatory frameworks. Organisations must ensure that employees understand the rules governing market behaviour and recognise the importance of acting with integrity.

By acknowledging the Charter, organisations promote a working environment in which relevant employees are encouraged to:

  • Develop strong knowledge of wholesale energy markets
  • Understand regulatory obligations, such as market abuse rules
  • Apply professional judgement in complex situations
  • Continuously develop and update expertise

This contributes to a stronger compliance culture and reduces the risk of regulatory breaches.

Demonstrate commitment to market integrity

Trust is essential for well-functioning markets. The Charter helps create a shared standard for professionalism across the industry.

Member Organisations indicate they:

  • Support professional standards for employees operating in energy markets
  • Promote transparency and responsible behaviour
  • Contribute to a trustworthy and well-functioning market environment

This commitment strengthens confidence among market operators, facilitators, and participants.

  • Stay up-to-date with market developments and regulation
  • Maintain professional standards throughout their careers

This supports long-term organisational capability and expertise.

By joining as a Member Organisation, companies contribute to an initiative that aims to:

  • Promote competency and professionalism across the markets
