Afren becomes an EITI Supporting Company
London, 23 May 2014
Afren plc ("Afren" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that
it became a Supporting Company of the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative ("EITI") on 20 May 2014.
The EITI is a global coalition of governments, companies and
civil society working together to improve openness and accountable
management of revenues from natural resources. It provides a robust
methodology for monitoring and reconciling company payments and
government revenues at the country level.
Afren operates in a number of countries around the world that
appear in the lower half of Transparency International's Corruption
Perception Index. Several of these are EITI candidates or fully
compliant. We support and comply with the relevant reporting
processes in each country. We also endorse the EU and UK
government's commitment to ensure that listed and other large oil,
gas and mining companies disclose payments to governments on a
project-by-project and country-by-country basis.
