Federal International did not respond

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Federal International to respond to the report alleging that Federal International is one of the oilfield services companies that “…have continued to work in Myanmar after the military’s attempted coup, helping the flow of gas – and revenues vital to the junta – to continue.” The report alleges that Federal International “…signed a procurement agreement with the Indonesian firm PT Gunanusa Utama Fabricators, which has a contract with PTTEP to build four wellhead platforms and associated pipelines for the expansion of the Zawtika gas project.” The report also alleges that Federal International holds shares with Gunanusa Utama Fabricators.The report asserts that “…oilfield services companies have made themselves complicit with the junta as it commits war crimes and crimes against humanity against the people of Myanmar.” The report further asserts that “International investors…holding shares in the…oilfield services companies, also have a responsibility under the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines to use their leverage to convince their investee companies to act responsibly, and to divest from those companies if they do not act responsibly. If the asset managers do not do so, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct indicates that they risk deepening their relationship to and responsibility for the atrocity crimes the Myanmar junta is committing with oil and gas revenue.”
