Engaging Stakeholders to Build A Sustainable Plan

By attending this course , you will look at the need to and how to engage stakeholders in the construction of a sustainability plan for the organization. Many examples exist of business  initiatives attempting to deliver community benefits , only to discover that the initiatives are irrelevant or unwanted. What seemed like a good idea inside the CSR department can fall short of what is actually needed, leading to frustration, waste of resources or even rejection. Companies that understand this are able to construct an assessment of the prioritized issues that are 'material' to stakeholders and then build their sustainability plans based upon that assessment. This training workshop unpicks these activities.
