This talk will examine emerging factors driving the need for change in stakeholder engagement processes. These factors are being fuelled by a growing stakeholder audience who have increasing expectations.
Stakeholder engagement needs to look at the wider objectives of equality, sustainability and shared value. It should go beyond simply fulfilling legal requirements to allow for more collaborative and inclusive engagements that empower stakeholders and inform corporate strategy. This can enable a company to respond to the changing business climate, address its ethical responsibilities and accrue long-term benefits.
