Best practices in stakeholder engagement

MANILA, Philippines — Stakeholder engagement is the bedrock of corporate sustainability for any organization. It is no wonder that it becomes mandatory for companies to include involved parties in their business activities and processes. Part of a healthy “stakeholder ecosystem” is the ability to engage all its stakeholders. To help organizations on this, the Center for Global Best Practices will launch an SEC-accredited program entitled Best Practices in Stakeholder Engagement on Thursday, Sept. 28, from 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. via Zoom.

This special program will focus on stakeholder engagement processes, framework, international standards, and reporting. It would help participants understand the value of engagement and its various modes, as well as the effectiveness of such efforts.
