Audience
Our Report is designed to meet the requirements of a diverse audience, ranging from those with minimal knowledge of our operations, to those who are familiar with our business and processes. Our stakeholders range from employees, local communities, shareholders and contractors, to non-government organisations, unions, socially responsible investment analysts, governments and academia. For more information see Our Stakeholders.
It remains an ongoing challenge for us to ensure we meet the needs of, and remain relevant to, such a broad range of stakeholder groups. An important stage in planning for our Report is engaging with different stakeholders to assess their reaction to both content and presentation. In addition to the feedback received via our online feedback mechanism, we conduct annual stakeholder dialogues to ascertain the effectiveness of the Report and opportunities for improvement. A summary of the results of this process conducted in preparation of our 2005 Report can be read at Report Dialogue.
Given the size and nature of our organisation, we recognise that it is not possible for the Company's Sustainability Report to meet the information needs of all our stakeholders - particularly at the local and regional level. We therefore require our operations to produce annual public site HSEC or sustainability reports. It is the intent of these site-based reports to provide a review of the HSEC issues and performance specific to their site circumstances, regional context and stakeholder needs.
