CHAPTER 5
5.2. Interaction with Stakeholders
Traditional concept of the sustainable development provides that this is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (The UN International Commission for Environment and Development, 1987). This approach may be implemented only taking into account the interests of the key stakeholders (interested parties) upon structural interaction with them and integration of this practice into all business processes of the Company.
By virtue of scale and specific character of the activities the RusHydro Group has a wide range of the interested parties. The focused work with the stakeholders is aimed first of all at achieving the Company’s strategic goals.
Due to existence of several areas of the core activities (electrical power generation, sales, development of innovative technologies, etc.) each area has its interested parties, and the Company builds systematic and planned interaction with them. At the same time, the Company organises interaction with a wide range of the interested parties through public accounting, corporate web-sites, contacts with journalists, exhibitions and forums, etc.
About stakeholders engagement see Sustainability Report.
