Promoting Responsible Business Conduct with Chinese Companies Operating in Complex Environments

Description

In Africa alone, some 10,000 Chinese-owned businesses are now driving a significant percentage of the continent’s infrastructure initiatives and extractive projects. In complex environments, Chinese companies and their personnel encounter a range of risks and challenges that can undermine the security of their personnel as well as the security and livelihood of local communities. These risks also negatively impact business continuity. Many companies have already recognized the need to align with international standards and are seeking practical support to ensure responsible security management.
