Stakeholder Engagement
A regular timely dialogue with stakeholders is important for us to
understand their concerns and act accordingly. We are able to enhance
value creation by listening to our stakeholders and understanding what
really matters to them. Key interest areas are pointed through our regular
dialogue and we are able to manage risks and opportunities proactively,
and set clear goals to deliver long term shared value.
