Statement of standards

SPRA aims to work lawfully, transparently, independently and responsibly. The company does not support bribery, corruption, sanctions evasion, misleading influence activity, false evidence, unlawful procurement conduct, misuse of confidential information or research practices that would compromise integrity.

SPRA provides strategic intelligence and advisory support. It does not provide regulated financial advice, legal opinions, government endorsement, classified access or guaranteed outcomes.

Core commitments

Lawfulness and integrity

Engagements are reviewed for bribery, corruption, sanctions evasion, procurement manipulation, falsified evidence and misuse of confidential information.

Independence and conflicts

Potential conflicts are assessed before accepting work and during delivery where new facts change the risk profile.

Evidence quality

Outputs distinguish verified facts, source-based judgements, assumptions, uncertainty and items requiring client or legal verification.

Data protection

Personal data, enquiry records, client documents and portal materials are handled with confidentiality and UK GDPR-aware controls.

Sanctions and integrity

Due diligence work considers sanctions exposure, politically exposed persons, red flags, source limitations and escalation needs.

Responsible research

Public opinion, stakeholder and communications research should avoid deception, coercion, disinformation and misuse of respondents.

Controls by service area

Energy and infrastructure

Source reliability, public-interest sensitivity, safety context, regulatory exposure and protection of sensitive infrastructure information.

Ukraine recovery

Procurement transparency, donor-funding integrity, counterparty risk, conflict-sensitive analysis and avoidance of improper influence.

Political and regulatory risk

Evidence-based analysis, clear lobbying boundaries, no misleading influence claims and no presentation of speculation as fact.

Sanctions and due diligence

Public-source screening, sanctions indicators, red-flag documentation, stated limitations and escalation to qualified legal advice where required.

Public opinion and communications

Respondent consent, privacy, fieldwork ethics, sampling disclosure, truthful messaging and no manipulative research design.

Client portal and documents

Role-based and organisation-based access, private document handling, download control, audit logging and subscription access where enabled.

Refusal and escalation

SPRA may decline, pause or narrow an engagement where a request creates a conflict of interest, seeks unlawful influence, asks for false or misleading material, creates sanctions or corruption concerns, or cannot be performed with adequate confidentiality and evidence standards.
