Third party risk assessment in the extractives sector

Identifying and mitigating supplier and other third party risks is ever-more vital for extractive sector companies. This latest Innovation Forum webinar will focus on third party risk assessment and how due diligence can be extended to cover supplier risks and social accountability issues.  Some of the questions our expert panel will consider include:  • How can companies structure an effective third party risk screening programme?  • How should they perform proper due diligence in high risk jurisdictions with poor transparency?  • What are the emerging trends in third party risk screening?  • What are some specific risks for the extractive industry?  • What can happen if these risks are ignored?  The webinar discussion will be for one hour, on 29th June, 11.30-12.30 BST / 12.30-13.30 CET. There will be plenty of time for the webinar audience to put questions to our panelists. Please feel free to submit these ahead of the webinar if you wish to.  Panelists:  Mark Eadie, acting head, environmental and social risk management, group corporate affairs, Standard Chartered Bank  James Swenson, head of proposition, risk managed services, Thomson Reuters  Moderated by: Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum  This webinar is sponsored by Thomson Reuters
