Engaging Stakeholders
Our stakeholders’ expectations revolve around good returns, sustainable profits, growth, regulatory compliances,
transparency and accountability. We respond to our stakeholders’ expectations in different ways, both formally and informally,
depending on the nature and scale of the issue. These interactions are crucial as they shape how we define and execute our
strategy to enable us to tackle some of the significant challenges facing our operations – problems that affect everyone along
our value chain and to seek beneficial solutions on concerns that no entity can solve on its own.
