Human Rights & Responsible Business

Human Rights & Responsible Business

F. Manous McBai supports respect for internationally recognised human rights and responsible business practices.

We recognise the particular human-rights, labour, environmental and governance risks that may arise in natural-resource, infrastructure and supply-chain environments.

Where relevant to an engagement, these considerations may form part of our assessment of commercial, institutional and reputational risk.

11. Client Acceptance & Due Diligence

I would not necessarily make this a public policy, but I would have it internally.

Your internal onboarding framework should address:

• identity;

• beneficial ownership;

• source of funds/wealth where appropriate;

• sanctions;

• politically exposed persons;

• conflicts;

• reputation;

• purpose of engagement;

• source of instructions;

• third-party intermediaries;

• jurisdictional risk.
