Community Engagement and Stakeholder Management
Getting an effective team together is a vital step in the community journey to sustainability. This involves a key process called stakeholder engagement: this means identifying who the people and other groups are in your community who are aligned with your aims and who can help you on your sustainability journey. Typical stakeholders are:
- Someone good at communicating who can set up and record meetings
- Someone who is good at finances – you may need a treasurer
- Schools Green committees
- Sports clubs
- The local authority’s sustainability officer
