Our theory of change.

We believe building a more sustainable future requires a better private sector. We leverage best practices, cultural and linguistic expertise, and on-the-ground intelligence to help businesses respect human rights, limit environmental impact and benefit society.

Beyond compliance.

We see corruption at the root of problems across the developing world. To act sustainably, and to attract and retain the best investors, talent and customers, companies must look beyond mere compliance with international anti-bribery and money laundering legislation. With environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) increasingly in the spotlight, acting responsibly requires access to ethical, independent and objective intelligence.

Ethically-sourced intelligence.

Whether screening prospective acquisitions, clients, management teams and executive hires, unpacking partners' beneficial ownership for sanctions and political exposure, understanding sector and country risks, tracing assets to win disputes and obtain restitution, or conducting ESG reviews and impact assessments, we assist the world’s leading organisations protect their reputations and act ethically.

Resolve disputes.

Information gaps in disputes hinder achieving justice and fair resolution. As independent intelligence gatherers, we help parties to litigation and creditors defend their rights by arming their counsel with reliable, timely intelligence.

Our thinking.

What we do sits at the intersection of global business, politics and finance. While our client work is confidential, we love to share the insights we glean from around the world and our thinking on current events.
