Our stakeholders

Key stakeholders are generally identified as people who are adversely or positively impacted by our operations, those who have an interest in what we do or those who have an influence on what we do. The diagram below illustrates our key stakeholders, while the table outlines the nature of our relationships with those stakeholders. Maintaining constructive stakeholder relationships is a critical part of our journey towards sustainable development.

The relationships we build can be compared to the crafting of a rope. The core consists of those stakeholders with whom we engage regularly, while the sheath comprises those who are important influencers but with whom we do not have such regular contact. Building our relationships through engagement and interaction in effect strengthens each strand, thus enhancing the integrity of the rope, helping us to jointly travel the journey to sustainability.

The information we receive from stakeholders helps refine the management of our activities and their potential impacts, in line with the goals set out in our Charter.

Refer to our section on Dialogue for a more detailed understanding of our key engagement mechanisms and outcomes.
