Where maritime meets energy

Riverlake is active in terminal development, brokerage and research

A track record built since 1985

A specialist group. Independent. Experienced. Global

Riverlake advises and executes across broking, terminal development, and engineering advisory serving shipowners, trading houses, industrial groups, and energy participants.

Broking

Riverlake operates across the full breadth of maritime markets, providing shipbroking services to an international client base. Relationships built over years of disciplined execution translate directly into market access and deal quality.

Terminal Development

The Group originates and develops storage terminal infrastructure, from early-stage investment structuring through to construction, commissioning, and long-term commercial partnerships. Coverage spans both conventional assets and energy transition projects.

Research

Proprietary data tools and market intelligence capabilities are integrated across teams and client workflows, sharpening decision-making and execution at every stage.

ESG is not a reporting exercise

How ESG principles guide the way we operate, the infrastructure we build, and the standards we uphold

ESG — Environmental

Engaged in the energy transition through shipping, infrastructure, and the commodities that define it.

Riverlake’s environmental commitment is expressed through the markets we operate in and the infrastructure we help build. Our activities span the transport and storage of energy commodities at the forefront of the transition, from biofuels to hydrogen across both maritime and inland trade.

Shipping & Trade flows

Our shipbroking activities include the transport of energy transition commodities — biofuels and related products — alongside conventional energy flows. As trade patterns evolve, Riverlake positions its clients to move efficiently within both established and emerging routes.

Terminal infrastructure

We originate and develop storage terminal projects covering both conventional assets and infrastructure aligned with the energy transition. Our engineering and advisory work focuses on efficient, adaptable terminal concepts designed to remain commercially viable as the energy mix shifts over time.

Our position

We do not approach environmental responsibility as a compliance matter. The transition creates real commercial opportunity and the firms best placed to capture it are those already operating inside it. Riverlake’s involvement in lower-carbon trade and infrastructure is a direct extension of where we see markets moving.

The energy transition is not a theme. It is an active part of how we work and where we invest our capabilities

ESG — Social

Directing the reach of maritime markets toward healthcare access and resource efficiency.

Riverlake’s social engagement is grounded in two concrete areas: supporting humanitarian healthcare in underserved regions, and reducing avoidable waste through the redistribution of goods that retain real value. Both reflect the same underlying principle that commercial activity can be structured to generate broader impact without compromising its integrity.

Cargo Day — Mercy Ships

Cargo Day is a market-wide initiative that links freight transactions to humanitarian funding. On a designated reference date, a defined contribution from qualifying fixtures is allocated to Mercy Ships — an organisation delivering essential surgical and medical care in regions with severely limited access to healthcare, with a primary focus on sub-Saharan Africa. Riverlake participates in this initiative as part of its commitment to channelling commercial activity toward measurable humanitarian outcomes.

Extending product lifecycles

Riverlake supports initiatives focused on recovering and redistributing apparel and footwear with minor defects or production imperfections, goods that would otherwise be discarded. Through selected partners, these items are redirected to regions where they serve a clear need, reducing textile waste and improving the efficiency of existing manufacturing and consumption systems. The initiative is part of a broader focus on circular resource use applied practically, not theoretically.

Where the structure of a market allows for impact, we look to build that in – not as an afterthought, but as part of how a transaction is designed

ESG — Governance

Integrity is not a policy. It is the standard against which every decision is measured.

Riverlake operates in markets where reputation is a long-term asset and conduct has direct commercial consequences. Our governance framework reflects that reality establishing clear expectations for behaviour, accountability, and professional standards across the organisation and in all external dealings.

Ethical conduct & compliance

Internal policies govern professional behaviour at every level of the organisation from client interactions and counterparty relationships to internal decision-making and transaction execution. Compliance is treated as a baseline, not a ceiling. The expectation is conduct that holds up under scrutiny, in every market and jurisdiction in which we operate.

Workplace standards

Riverlake maintains a working environment defined by respect, accountability, and professional rigour. A zero-tolerance position on harassment and inappropriate conduct applies without exception across all levels, functions, and geographies. These standards are not aspirational. They are actively enforced.

Governance & Compliance

Our reputation is the sum of every decision made when no one was watching
