With great projects comes great social responsibility
The days of simply focusing on compliance and managing stakeholders and social risk are long gone. Employees, shareholders, stakeholders and communities expect, demand and need much more from infrastructure and resources projects in Western Australia.
More responsibility. More accountability. More transparency. More engagement. More positive social impact. More focus on addressing the issues and problems plaguing society.
And now, more than ever, you’d better put your best foot forward.
Are you:
- Finding it hard to navigate the social landscape or keep pace with evolving stakeholder expectations for your company, asset or project?
- Wondering what you ‘should’ and ‘could’ be doing in the areas of social performance and community relations, and if what you are doing is ‘enough’?
- Grappling with your company’s role in addressing all the social issues facing your staff, your business and your communities?
- Focused on compliance, managing social risk or mitigating social impacts, but feeling like you’re falling short somehow?
- Stuck in reactive mode, fire-fighting the latest hot issue or trying to ‘fly under the radar’?
- Challenged by the realities of gaining stakeholder support and community acceptance for projects?
- Overwhelmed by the millions of social requirements, programs, initiatives on your plate and trying to get clear on priorities?
If you said yes to a few of these, know that you’re not alone.
And you’re in the right place. Welcome!
