RECENT PROJECTS
Read more...Today fewer and fewer communities give a social license to operate to natural resource companies if they don’t demonstrate that their projects will protect and add value locally in the short, medium and long term. In the Kremnicko region, home of the Šturec gold & silver deposit in Slovakia, some essential questions were raised locally: “Will the mining result in a steady drain of natural wealth from our community, or will it be a tool to transform the resources into something sustainably useful for all interested parties”? And “how can we trust the investors?”.
Read more...Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for more than 90% of the European enterprises, thus forming the backbone of the European economy. There is, therefore, considerable opportunity to create value for both businesses and their stakeholders/society as a whole, through supporting SMEs in creating and implementing sustainable business strategies.
Read more...Closing a 240 ha chemical fertiliser production complex (Doljchim), a past major economic engine in Dolj county, Romania, raised the following challenge for its stakeholders: is the closure the end, or the beginning of a new journey to successful development?
Read more...There is a growing awareness in the oil and gas industry, including in OMV Petrom, of the increasing need to integrate stakeholder engagement (SE) and sustainability into everyday business decisions to avoid local conflicts that could pose risks to business (including social license to operate, downtime, permits, local credibility), minimise internal stress and improve overall operational efficiency, to name but a few.
Read more...Starting to build a natural gas-powered electricity-generating station in Northeast Turkey, on a seaside site, without structured stakeholder engagement and feedback built into the design and implementation raised a number of permitting challenges for OMV. These resulted in project delays and an NGO campaign mobilised against the project.
Read more...As more and more projects and departments of OMV needed to address sustainability challenges coming from their operations on the ground and from society in general, the OMV Corporation decided to create and implement their own global sustainability strategy.
Read more...Fill-material is a normal part of making a motorway. Getting the required permits is also, along with engaging beforehand with those affected. A leading Austrian construction company (STRABAG) commissioned to build a highway in Transylvania had some problems with this part of an otherwise well-planned and implemented construction project.
