Our role is to provide information on and encourage discussion of issues relating to the subject topics of interest to our specialist readers.

We are pro-regulation and pro-enterprise, but committed to covering the widest range of views fairly.

We will always acknowledge where the influence of our parent company, Global Relay, affects our editorial decisions.

We seek to report accurately and honestly, and commit to correcting errors in a transparent manner as soon as is practically possible.

We will always credit creators. We will treat sources as confidential in line with normal journalism standards.

Our writers have no commercial interest in the areas they cover, and are required to disclose interests that could be perceived as influencing their work.

We respect and abide by confidentiality, embargoes and other such agreements.

We strive to be clear, accessible and open.
