KIDNAP & RANSOM

Employees of multinational organisations, contractors, companies with employees who travel internationally and high-net-worth individuals and families are particularly vulnerable to hostile incidents. For those operating in remote areas of territories that are suffering political instability and socio-economic hardships, their workforce is often a target for organised criminal gangs, opportunistic kidnappers/extortionists and terrorist groups.

The trauma these incidents inflict on victims and their families is extreme. Such incidents can also have devastating consequences on businesses, affecting staff morale and a company’s assets and reputation. The impact on a company’s finances can be vast as projects may be delayed or terminated.
