Cost-Benefit

LACUNA’s services save lives – literally. Our services also save money.

We provide clients with major cost/benefit savings which dramatically reduces the financial risk and exposure for international projects.

Failure to adequately mitigate cultural, religious and human rights risks have resulted in the following kinds of losses for groups and corporations:

  • Loss of life for staff to violent extremism
  • Loss of reputation, negative public relations and unwanted media scrutiny
  • Drop in share prices and shareholder backlash
  • Loss of in-country investments for operational infrastructure and corporate social responsibility
  • Loss of future revenue because of forced withdrawal due to legal and public relations issues
  • Fines and penalties levied by national governments
  • Legal costs and compensation resulting from lawsuits

Let LACUNA save you time, money, worry and lives by providing you with our unique services. Contact us today to learn more about our services custom-designed to fit your group or company.

Labour Training In The Middle East

Labour training in the Middle East

What we know is that people everywhere want to feel their backgrounds and perspectives and cultures are being respected and valued. Building inclusive mindsets should be a part of every aspect of our lives; we must think more inclusively about strategies for our companies, our communities and our society.

Effenus Henderson, Chief Diversity Officer, Weyerhauser Company

Once religion is a part of a conflict, it must also be part of the solution.

John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, editors of The Economist

Promoting understanding between different cultures, languages, religions and nations has always been a challenge to our society. It will therefore continue to be an important goal for international corporations to encourage individuals and institutions worldwide who provide these impulses towards tomorrow’s open society.
