Laurent Fourier, CEO, Health & Security Subscription Services at International SOS, comments“As part of an
organisation’s Duty of Care responsibilities, thorough vetting and selection processes should be adhered to

in order to maximise the safety of travellers and assignees. To do this, business leaders need access to
information on the most suitable options in their desired locations, including potentially remote or high-risk
areas. We are supporting our clients to mitigate any security and health risks to their people by providing a

structured suite of secure accommodation services, including detailed and up-to-date intelligence on potential
