Human & Indigenous Rights

Human and indigenous rights are significant issues for many companies in high-impact sectors such as mining, oil & gas and infrastructure.

Companies with significant operational footprints and those operating in indigenous territory or in weak governance zones face unique risks related to community relations, security and critical incident management which may lead to road blockades, work stoppages, social unrest or even violence.

We engage with companies in high-risk sectors to ensure they establish the appropriate policies and practices to respect human rights and where appropriate, obtain the free, prior and informed consent of indigenous communities.
