Stakeholder Management • More and more companies must take into account and pro-actively manage stakeholders to avoid restrictions on their ability to use water • Stakeholder engagement needs to happen at the local level: – Engagement at local level different from what is currently the norm – Charity and philanthropy – Centralized approach is not optimal – Engage with the right stakeholders at the right level of effort • Bad stakeholder engagement or ill-prepared stakeholder engagement is worse than no engagement • Stakeholder engagement, when done well, will significantly improve companies’ chances of continued and uninterrupted production
  5. 5. Practical Approach • Design the right, fit-for-purpose, stakeholder engagement plan • Identify the stakeholders • Scrutinize and assess the stakeholders: – Criteria will depend on the company’s own strategic objectives – Quantify • Stakeholder map • Planning an approach for each stakeholder
