Our stakeholders are integral to our ability to protect, create and grow value, a process that is advanced through relationships with others and balances the needs, interests and expectations of material stakeholders in the best interests of the Company over time.
AEEI appreciates the role of its stakeholders and is committed to nurturing impactful relationships that deliver mutual benefits and encourage transparent, objective and relevant communication. The Group recognises that its business is but one of the stakeholders in the socio-economic and environmental system. It is essential for the Group to compete successfully in an increasingly complex and ever-changing business environment and to systematically bring about the change needed for sustainable development. Building and maintaining trust and respect with our various stakeholders has a positive impact on our reputation and is essential in addressing risks and opportunities. We strive to respond timeously and appropriately to issues raised in our interactions.
At AEEI we believe that the strength of our relationships with all our key stakeholders is critical in the achievement of our strategic objectives and creating mutual value for the Company and our stakeholders. As such, our stakeholder management approach involves gaining a thorough understanding of key stakeholders, assessing the matters that are material to them, including risks and opportunities. Our approach manages stakeholders’ expectations and how much material matters impact them and the Group.
Stakeholder engagement involves communicating our strategy, performance, decisions and activities that impact our stakeholders or are of significant interest to them, as well as understanding the needs and perspectives of our stakeholders.
The views and actions of our stakeholders can impact our ability to execute our strategy and conduct our business activities. The feedback from our stakeholders enables us to develop and update our engagement plan to help us create stronger partnerships and improve our overall relationships. We respond appropriately and timeously to matters that emerge – whether they are regulatory, shareholder-based or others.
We have identified the following key stakeholder groups with whom the Group engages in a structured manner:
