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.
