Stakeholder Engagement Strategies in Sustainable Development - Electricity Industry Overview

The results of a survey of electricity organisations, and other work done by the WG, presents an encouraging picture about stakeholder engagement in the sector. Electricity organisations are increasingly recognising the benefit of stakeholder engagement in their construction projects, not only for the benefits to the projects themselves but also for the development of building relationships with key environmental and citizen organisations. While this is driven in part by legislation, there is evidence that much engagement is being promoted voluntarily by electricity companies. The WG has produced a set of key principles for stakeholder engagement in the sector.
