We are committed to engaging with stakeholders and 'listening first' to understand the needs of local groups and communities. Safety and protecting our communities are at the forefront of everything we do.
OUR APPROACH
Meaningful engagement with local and Indigenous communities is built on trust and understanding.
We believe transparent and sustained dialogue is not only a fundamental element of our long-term success, it is simply the right thing to do.
Contributing positively to the overall health and economic resiliency of the communities in which we live and operate is important to us. We're committed to understanding the interests and perspectives of our stakeholders and ensuring we deliver on our commitments to them.
Our engagement with community stakeholders is centered around three key pillars: (i) promote meaningful dialogue and engagement; (ii) enhance economic and social wellbeing; and (iii) invest in communities to build capacity and resilience.
For every project we create formal engagement plans that guide how we communicate, engage, address interests, and deliver on our commitments.
Safety - at the heart of what we do
At our core is a focus on and commitment to safety. This commitment is distributed across people, communities, and the environment we all share. We want to help local communities thrive, and we know this can only be achieved if safety comes first.
We take pride in being a responsible business with wide-ranging safety processes designed to keep our people and communities safe. Our approach aligns with national, provincial and local safety standards in the areas where we operate. We believe each person at Keyera is responsible for safety and has a role to play in ensuring no one gets hurt at a Keyera workplace. Safety is embedded in our daily work through key programs and systems followed by our people to proactively manage risk and protect the communities where we work.
Stakeholder engagement
Stakeholder engagement is directed at building and maintaining mutually productive and lasting relationships with community stakeholders. To achieve this objective, our approach is guided by the following principles:
Engagement through project lifecycles
To understand the interests and needs of community stakeholders, we focus on developing respectful, meaningful engagement over the lifecycle of our activities. Engagement starts well in advance of project sanctioning, continuing through project development and operation, to decommissioning and reclamation.
Proactive engagement:
- enables constructive dialogue,
- creates opportunity for meaningful collaboration; and
- helps us identify and mitigate potential risk.
