Appendix: F—Recommendations from Phase 1
• Participant did not see the distinction between Phase 2 and Phase 3 because
according to the participant, social investment analysts develop their own
guidelines and procedures to social investment.
• Researcher should be careful not to solely consider analysts that adopt international guidelines.
• Be aware that some social investment experts that develop the guideline are the
ones that implement social investments in the community.
• Social investment analysts do not have access to the international guidelines via
the company. There isn’t any training either. Analysts are “thrown alone into the
community and they have to survive in there”
• The research is very relevant to O&G social responsibility practitioners and that
she would be interested to see what analysts from other parts of the world have
to say.
