As a global risk management consultancy, Control Risks works with international organisations, governments and NGOs in many complex and challenging environments and, as such, we are very aware both of the importance of the oil and gas sector and of the sensitivities associated with it. As consultants, we are not strategic decision-makers, however, we are committed to the application of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in our work. Long-term solutions to the many challenges facing the industry require the enlightened participation of companies, government agencies and civil society. We hope that we can make our own contribution by providing high standard professional advice, including on sensitive issues relating to security and human rights.
