We work closely with our stakeholders to understand their concerns and identify how to address them. We aim to avoid or reduce any adverse impacts and to manage those impacts that may be unavoidable.
Engaging with stakeholders from different backgrounds can be a challenging process. Various communication tools and a strategy is required to ensure all stakeholders are frequently consulted and their concerns and needs are included in the decision making process of project activities. MPRL E&P acknowledges the importance of engagement and buy-in from all of its stakeholders. A series of assessments and coordination meetings are periodically held to identify and prioritize concerns of stakeholders. To further facilitate this process, a grievance mechanism process has been successfully implemented in Mann Field. The multi-stakeholder approach to managing community concerns has resulted in a 98% satisfactory rate with regard to how grievances are addressed and resolved.
Who are our stakeholders?
