Stakeholder Engagement
Our key stakeholders (and the key audience of this report) are our clients, our people (past, present and future), charities and NGOs, local communities, wider membership groups, as well as government and regulatory bodies. We’ve identified these groups as having a direct interest in our business or as being impacted by our business.
During the course of FY12 we have continued to engage closely with our key stakeholder groups. Regular engagement with these stakeholders helps us to identify, understand, prioritise and communicate how we are addressing the most material areas to our business. For the purposes of this report, we consider material information to be that which is of greatest interest to, and which has the potential to affect the perception of, those stakeholders who wish to make informed decisions and judgments about our commitment to environmental, social and economic progress.
