Stakeholders have a vested interest in our success and inform delivery of strategic priorities
Through our relationships with a wide range of stakeholders,
we create shared value while proactively working to
reduce instances of value erosion. In doing so, we deliver
on our Purpose and strategy, mitigate risks, address
our Material Matters, and contribute to the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). We recognise that transparent
communication and consistent engagement are essential
to building and sustaining trust.
We engage with
