To facilitate our ability to address negative impacts on affected communities, we often employ community liaison officers who engage with local stakeholders to gather feedback and address grievances related to our projects, particularly during the planning and execution phases. We use various methods and channels to collect community input, including hosting informational town halls and open forums, telephone lines, emails, and social media as well as designated drop-off boxes in locations to allow residents to submit concerns anonymously.
Additionally, our Whistleblower Hotline enables individuals in affected communities to report any inappropriate or illegal conduct confidentially.

We are working to establish a clear community engagement process that will involve engaging directly with the affected communities, their representatives, or credible proxies. In the meantime, we are focused on gathering data and assessing current practices to ensure that future targets are effective and aligned with stakeholder needs. We are not yet fully able to monitor how effectively our policies and actions address our material sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities for affected communities. We ensure individuals who use these grievance mechanisms are protected from retaliation, and that whistleblower reports are handled confidentially, in line with our 'Good business conduct policy' and 'Whistleblower policy'.
