Stakeholder Engagement: Crossing Traditional Business Lines

When it comes to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), most business executives will tell you that their business sustainability stakeholders play a key role in the process.  However when these leaders are asked, "Are these same key business stakeholders actively engaged in the strategic business sustainability planning process and the financial decision-making of the company?"   The answer is very seldom the same. 

The model of business engagement has traditionally been an almost exclusively one-way discussion.  In the past, stakeholder inputs, if any, were considered only behind the closed doors of the executive boardroom.  However, the link between stakeholder engagement  and business profitability may prove to be a line that bares crossing.    Recent research shows that firms with high employee engagement have 19% higher operating income than their peers.  This significant influence, warranting discussion, leads our sustainability consulting to explore this economic relationship further: click here to learn more about stakeholder engagement.
