Stakeholder Engagement
Establishing credibility and trust within local communities is fundamental to Asanko's stakeholder engagement strategy. This commitment enables us to understand interests, concerns, and perceptions proactively and address any conflicts at the earliest opportunity.
Our approach is guided by the Galiano Sustainability Policy and the Asanko Stakeholder Engagement Procedure and considers the perspectives, concerns, customs, and cultural heritage of stakeholders in decision-making processes. Mapping classifies stakeholders according to their proximity, influence, and potential impact on a project. Methods of engagement are then designed for each specific stakeholder group in an appropriate and culturally-sensitive manner.
