A growing number of companies from the extractive, finance, insurance and hydropower industries, as well as industry associations, have made commitments to protect World Heritage sites. They have often demonstrated this by refraining from undertaking or funding harmful industrial or other large-scale development projects within World Heritage sites, their buffer zones or broader setting which could negatively impact the sites and their OUV. These policies are generally referred to as the World Heritage ‘nogo’ commitment.
