Transparency
“We have an internal, cross-functional group
dedicated to implementing the Business Principles.
This team is responsible for identifying risks and
opportunities across the organization. They help
to translate the Business Principles into our
daily work at Kosmos. In addition, we’re working
to reinforce the Business Principles through
performance reviews and new hire orientation.
We have also held internal meetings with diverse
groups of employees to review Kosmos’ Human
Rights Policy and discuss related topics.”
Tracey Henderson
Vice President Exploration, Geophysics
To supplement our strong internal anti-corruption
compliance program and demonstrate our commitment to transparency, we made public all of our
petroleum agreements and production sharing
contracts when we filed our Form 10-Q with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. To help
interested parties access these contracts, we provided links to them on our website.
Kosmos is an international supporting company for
the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).
Kosmos sits on the EITI Board in Ghana and continues to play an active role in the national process. Our
Country Manager in Mauritania is on the EITI National
Steering Committee, and we have been advocating for
EITI’s wider adoption in both Suriname and Morocco.
We have published our payments to our host governments, disaggregated by type of payment, in
the Performance Data on page 28 of this report as
well as on our website.
