CLP’s Stakeholder Engagement Framework provides open and transparent channels for stakeholder input and a review and consideration process where concerns about CLP's business are responded to in a timely manner.
GRI reference: 2-12, 2-16, 2-25, 2-29, 207-3, 413-1
While each business unit develops its own project-specific engagement plan depending on their needs, the plan they develop follows the framework steps below.
Establishing engagement scope and aligning with business objectives
Mapping issues and concerns
Identifying relevant stakeholders: CLP's business activities involve a diverse range of stakeholders, each with distinct attributes, concerns and interests. In addition to regular communications with stakeholders (such as email updates, information kits, press releases and video stories), key stakeholder groups for each project are identified and prioritised based on the issues mapped, how the stakeholders will be impacted and their influence on the success of the business.
Developing a communications and engagement plan: CLP uses a wide range of easily accessible public engagement channels, both formal and informal. Those channels include surveys, focus groups, briefings, visits, events, roadshows and online channels, all of which enable it to receive concerns, interest or feedback at any time during the year. Drawing on past experiences, the channels for each project are selected based on the project’s nature and the most effective means of reaching the identified stakeholders.
Conducting engagement activities
Capturing feedback and reporting on outcomes: CLP seeks to address stakeholders’ views and concerns and identify areas for improvement in a timely manner. To do so, we rely on a number of measures. They include: measuring the amount of stakeholder feedback captured; the outcomes following our stakeholder engagement; media monitoring and analysis; brand perception ratings; and public and industry recognition and awards.
