At Auxilium Worldwide, we apply our expertise, experience, and global reach to counter the bad actors who seek to exploit natural resources to destructive ends, while supporting those who use those resources responsibly.
The illicit exploitation of natural resources – from oil and minerals to forests and fisheries – is a grave threat to human security everywhere. Our work encompasses both countering illicit activity and supporting sustainability.
In recent years, resource-related threats have multiplied. The theft and smuggling of petroleum products finances corruption, terror, and organized crime. Gold is both mined illegally in environmentally poisonous ways and used to finance other criminal enterprises and launder their proceeds. State actors instrumentalize criminal networks and corrupt government officials to facilitate the rapacious extraction of resource wealth on both land and water.
Auxilium Worldwide works to solve these problems. We do the crucial work of tracking and targeting illicit networks, developing effective countermeasures, helping build and refine the legal and regulatory frameworks that protect critical resources and those who depend on them, and facilitating the effective operation and coordination of enforcement authorities.
From the Amazon Basin to the Gulf of Guinea, from Europe to the Pacific, we have long and deep relationships with key stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. We partner with law enforcement, industry actors, international organizations, and civil society groups to disrupt the illicit and destructive exploitation of vital resources.
