London, UK – 24 August 2026 – Ethixbase360, a leading provider of third-party risk management solutions, today announced a partnership with MendisOne, a diversified Sri Lankan business group whose family of companies include Shipping, Logistics and Tourism entities over the past 28 years. Having successfully completed Tcertification™, an independent due diligence review built on internationally recognized anti-bribery compliance standards, MendisOne will now support the broader adoption of Tcertification™ across its network of partners, agents, and suppliers throughout Sri Lanka and the wider region.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening transparency, integrity, and trust across complex global supply chains. As a Tcertified organization, MendisOne is well positioned to demonstrate the practical value of standardized, independent due diligence to companies operating in high-risk, highly interconnected industries.
With operations spanning shipping, logistics, international trade, and travel services, MendisOne works with customers and business partners across multiple jurisdictions where demonstrating integrity, transparency, and robust compliance practices has become an increasingly important commercial differentiator. Its experience with Tcertification makes it a natural partner in helping raise awareness of the benefits of independent due diligence and third-party certification throughout these sectors.
Shipping, logistics, and international trade rely on extensive networks of agents, freight forwarders, customs brokers, suppliers, and other third parties operating across multiple jurisdictions. As regulatory expectations around third-party risk continue to evolve, companies are looking for more efficient ways to demonstrate transparency while reducing the burden of repetitive due diligence requests.
Tcertification™ helps address that challenge by providing an independently verified due diligence review that companies can share with multiple customers and business partners. Rather than completing separate due diligence questionnaires for every new commercial relationship, certified organizations receive a comprehensive report covering key compliance and integrity indicators, including:
- Beneficial ownership and corporate structure verification
- Sanctions, politically exposed person (PEP), and adverse media screening
- Litigation checks
- Anti-bribery and corruption policy and training verification
Certification is valid for 12 months and supported by continuous monitoring, giving customers greater confidence that due diligence information remains current throughout the certification period. The resulting report can be shared with an unlimited number of business partners, helping reduce duplicated reviews while accelerating onboarding.
“As due diligence continues to evolve and organizations increasingly embrace AI, independent verification remains essential,” said Virna Di Palma, Head of Global Content & Brand at Ethixbase360. “Tcertification remains the gold standard in anti-bribery compliance despite the evolution of due diligence and AI. It is designed for third parties operating in higher-risk industries and markets that want to go beyond standard checks to demonstrate their commitment to commercial transparency. MendisOne has experienced that value firsthand and understands how standardized, independent due diligence can build trust, streamline onboarding, and strengthen business relationships. We’re delighted to partner with a company that shares our commitment to raising standards across global supply chains and supporting the broader adoption of Tcertification throughout the shipping and logistics sector.”
“As our business continues to work with customers and partners across multiple jurisdictions, demonstrating transparency and maintaining high compliance standards has become increasingly important,” said Rishantha Mendis, Managing Director, MendisOne. “Our experience with Tcertification showed that independent due diligence can simplify the onboarding process while giving counterparties greater confidence in who they’re doing business with. We’re proud to partner with Ethixbase360 to encourage wider adoption of this approach across the shipping, logistics, and trading sectors.”
Through the partnership, Ethixbase360 and MendisOne will collaborate on educational initiatives and industry outreach to raise awareness of the benefits of independent due diligence and third-party certification, and the role they can play in strengthening third-party risk management while reducing unnecessary administrative burden.
