Compliance & Proactive Engagement Strategy

In all its operations, the company will always comply with local laws and regulatory requirements, and make representations to the relevant authorities if it believes that policies and practices of host governments undermine our Business Principles. We will undertake environmental and social impact assessments prior to undertaking any new investment and evaluate these impacts regularly to ensure that they are responsibly managed on an ongoing basis. We expect our contractors, suppliers, joint venture and alliance partners to respect our Business Principles. Their concurrence with these principles is an important factor in our decision to form or remain in a relationship with them.
