Integrity Incidents

When a concern is reported to Nexen’s Integrity and Compliance group it is promptly investigated. In 2012, 50 concerns were reported, compared to 44 in 2011. Forty-one of the reports were confirmed as integrity-related and the remaining nine were transferred to the appropriate department for resolution. Of the 41 integrity-related incidents, 19 were substantiated breaches of our Integrity Guide with two ranked as medium-risk and the rest as low-risk. All of these incidents have been resolved.
