This new resource supports oil, gas and alternative energy companies and practitioners to undertake engagement with local stakeholders that moves beyond meeting the minimum expectations, by providing guidance on broader, inclusive and ongoing two-way processes for ‘meaningful engagement’.

The guidance includes advice on methods to make engagement meaningful, KPIs and data collection methods, as well as a range of case studies. It is available to download as a PDF, as well as a new digital format on our website. Both versions can be accessed via the link below.

Why is meaningful engagement important?

Undertaking meaningful engagement ensures meaningful outcomes for all stakeholders, and builds an increased sense of trust between stakeholders and companies, which helps to cement the basis for longer-term relationships.

It also enables companies to meet regulatory guidelines and international standards.

In addition, as the global energy transition proceeds, many companies will make changes to their portfolios to support new low-carbon or renewable energy facilities or look to downsize or close existing oil and gas facilities. In these situations, meaningful engagement will be vital to ensuring that the company is actively contributing to a just energy transition.

Who is this guidance for?

  • Companies undertaking stakeholder engagement activities, teams ‘on the ground’ as well as those at a corporate or boardroom level. It is intended to be used to help companies integrate stakeholder engagement into decision-making processes and management systems used by various teams within an organisation.

  • Practitioners within companies who are looking to undertake direct/indirect engagement with stakeholders across a range of operating contexts.
