An Exploration of the Oil and Gas Sector’s Social
Investment in Host Countries
Information Sheet for Participants
Thank you for showing an interest in this project.
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, or if you
are a member of the Brazilian or New Zealand government with responsibility for
extractive industries, 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.
What is the project about?
This study seeks to investigate how Oil and Gas (O&G) companies have implemented social investments in host countries. I am interviewing social investment
