STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Stakeholders are at the heart of everything we do and, since 2018, we’ve been working to become more stakeholder-centric throughout our organisation. Guided by our Stakeholder Relations Management Strategy, which is aligned to our Innovate, Grow and Sustain Strategy, we are increasing our level of stakeholder engagement and being more proactive in all situations. We are aware of the critical role that stakeholders play in value creation and our long-term sustainability, and we are playing an active role in nurturing and enriching those relationships.
In particular, we continue to prioritise engagement with government, the financial community, the aviation industry and the private sector about key issues such as business sustainability, funding and the operation of airports according to best-practice operational and environmental guidelines.
Stakeholder groups
As the operator responsible for running the country’s nine largest public airports, our stakeholder groups extend throughout society and the economy. The following diagram broadly illustrates the stakeholder ecosystem we engage with on an ongoing basis.

Stakeholder categories and methods of engagement
During the review of our strategy in 2020, we updated the way in which we categorise our stakeholders in order to facilitate more active and effective engagement. The following tables illustrate how we categorise stakeholder groups, how we engage with them, the issues that are most critical to them and what the desired outcomes of our engagement with each group are.
