Critical Resource specializes in political, sustainability and stakeholder risks facing investments in energy, resources and related sectors. They advise senior executives and investors in some of the world’s largest companies.

They believe the future’s most successful resource firms will be those that manage these risks better than their competitors. Using their unique approach, LicenseSecure, they assist clients to do so in a highly responsible and sustainable way.

They provide due diligence and assurance that these risks are well understood and managed. They also provide practical support, working with clients to achieve commercial success by building common ground with stakeholders.

Their core team brings together experience working for major resource firms, The Economist, McKinsey, and Chatham House, among other organisations. The senior advisory panel for LicenseSecure comprises Lord (John) Browne, Bill Emmott and Prof Sir Paul Collier.
