Reporting A Concern

Nexen encourages anyone who has concerns regarding our business practices to contact us. We assume that all reports, including those made to our integrity helpline, are made in good faith and are real, legitimate and significant enough to warrant an investigation.

Integrity and compliance concerns are investigated with the utmost respect, discretion and privacy. Nexen makes every effort to ensure prompt, consistent and fair resolution of all concerns brought to our attention. Our Chief Legal Officer is responsible for reviewing all issues raised and works closely with members of Nexen’s Integrity & Compliance team to investigate and resolve all concerns. Other staff members, as well as external experts, may be engaged to assist in the investigation as deemed appropriate.
