COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
As a business, we believe in the IAP2 Code of Ethics which include values such as trust, commitment, openness, advocacy, etc. We also adhere to the IAP2 Spectrum of Public Participation which is used internationally. The spectrum embraces key aspects such as inform, consult, involve, collaborate, and empower, which we use as a guide for our community participation.
