Description

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is the global standard for good governance in the oil, gas and mineral sectors. It is active in 56 countries worldwide and is an influential voice in shaping the future of these sectors. With senior engagement from government, industry and civil society at an international level, it provides a unique tool to champion good governance of natural resources globally and further the UK's strategic objectives. The work of EITI is beneficial for the UK because it encourages open, transparent practices here and overseas, thus helping to create good investment environments.
