Governance & Neutrality

Built on Trust, Operated with Integrity

Our governance framework ensures LNG Cluster remains a neutral, trusted platform serving the interests of all participants in the global LNG ecosystem.

Our Neutrality Commitment

LNG Cluster is fundamentally different from commercial participants in the LNG industry. We do not buy, sell, or trade LNG. We do not manufacture equipment. We do not provide operational services that compete with our members.

This strict neutrality is not merely a policy - it is the foundation of our business model. Our value derives entirely from the trust placed in us by all participants, and we protect that trust rigorously.

We do not take commercial positions in LNG markets
We do not favor any participant over another in our platforms
We maintain strict confidentiality of all member information
We apply consistent standards to all participants regardless of size
We disclose any potential conflicts of interest transparently

Why Neutrality Matters

In an industry where companies compete intensely, a neutral platform creates unique value. Members can share information, explore partnerships, and access services knowing that LNG Cluster has no commercial interest in their competitive positions.

This enables levels of collaboration and openness that would be impossible with a commercially-aligned platform operator.
