Did you know that according to Goldman Sachs, 73% of project delays globally stem from non-technical risks, such as community resistance? The Community Engagement Standards (CES) is your ultimate tool to bridge the gap between companies and host communities, ensuring lasting economic and social benefits while fostering trust and cooperation.
This groundbreaking resource, developed by CSR-in-Action with support from FOSTER II, is endorsed by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources (MPR) and tailored to the unique challenges of the extractive sector. The CES outlines actionable principles, such as the Sustainable Community Development Plan (SCDP), to guide companies in delivering tangible results that align with community expectations.
Whether you’re in the extractive, oil and gas, or CSR space, the CES offers practical solutions to streamline stakeholder engagement and achieve meaningful impact.
