What it is

Stakeholder Engagement, without the jargon

Robust stakeholder engagement identifies and prioritises your stakeholders — employees, communities, investors, suppliers, regulators — and gathers their views through the right channels. It is a core requirement of GRI, AA1000 and CSRD, and the evidence base for any materiality assessment.
