Summary

 

Read the initial assessment issued by the UK NCP – 20 December 2018

On 13 February 2018 the UK NCP received a submission from Association des Habitants de Ndogpassi I, II et III (AHN), and Cercle de Bon Voisinage de Logmayangui (CBVL), alleging that Victoria Oil & Gas plc (VOG) is linked to historical and ongoing breaches of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (the Guidelines) in relation to the establishment and the operation of the Logbaba Gas Project in Cameroon. The sections of the Guidelines include General Policies (II), Disclosure (III), Human Rights (IV) Employment and industrial relations (V) and Environment (VI).

The UK NCP undertook an initial assessment and concluded that:

  • The claim that the company did not take the appropriate actions in the process of establishing the Project, and therefore did not act consistently with the Guidelines, merits further examination.
  • The claim that the company continues to act inconsistently with the Guidelines merits further examination.

The UK NCP is making arrangements for mediation between VOG and AHN and CBVL.
