Information Sheet for Participants

we thank you. If you decide not to take part there will be no disadvantage to you and

My name is Rafaela Rabello and I am undertaking a PhD at the University of
Otago. I have worked for some years as a social investment expert for an Oil and Gas
multinational. Although I felt great joy at developing social investment activities
for this company, I have also faced some challenges in addressing local development needs through Social Investment. I believe O&G companies play a big part in
supporting social welfare in the countries where they work; and because of this, I
have decided to investigate factors that will assist O&G companies and employees to
develop Social Investment that will promote human development, alleviate poverty
and diminish entrepreneur risks and negative repercussions.
If you have been involved in the development of social investment programmes
for O&G companies or/and social investment/responsibility guidelines, I would like
to invite you to take part in this research. Your contribution will be extremely valuable
for informing the development of O&G Social Investment.
