Our Principles
In our practice we are guided by a set of principles that help frame our approach to the consultation process.
- We believe strongly in the value and fairness of a sincere, open and transparent stakeholder engagement process that seeks the input of those potentially affected by a decision.
- Stakeholder engagement establishes a meaningful opportunity for stakeholders to participate in arriving at decisions that, as far as possible, reflect their interests and concerns.
- Stakeholder engagement leads to better decisions and requires clear communication in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.
- Appropriate, effective stakeholder engagement enables a project proponent to explain goals and plans, while creating a valuable opportunity to learn more about stakeholders' views and explore how they might be incorporated into business planning.
