Stakeholder Engagement

An integral part of our sustainability management approach is listening and responding to our priority stakeholders. Stakeholders are people who impact our business or are affected by our operations.

Feedback from stakeholders helps us understand their expectations, needs and concerns, allowing us to prioritise issues more effectively and address them in a timely manner. This feedback contributes to our overall business strategy and helps us meet our combined sustainability goals.

We reach out to stakeholders through a variety of formal and informal communication channels. These valuable platforms allow us to share knowledge and best practices while networking more effectively with other market players and industry experts.
