Engaging Stakeholders and Benefitting Communities

Effective stakeholder engagement enables us to strengthen our social licence. We work to establish and maintain productive relationships with our stakeholders and to maximize the shared benefits of our activities. Through our work, we aim to contribute to long-term mutual prosperity.

We take a respectful approach to engaging with our stakeholders and catalyzing the development of sustainable communities. We recognize that a significant part of our role is to help build human and institutional capacity wherever we operate so that local communities can achieve their development goals.
