The firm also participates in, organises or co-organises international conferences or regional or local workshops, business dinners related to extractive industry issues, formal or informal consultations with stakeholders around the world. The firm follows the recommendations of the final report of the EIR published on 15 January 2004, and conducts, on its own initiative or in response to calls for tender, study projects as part of the review.
