All of our material operations follow rolling three-year community engagement programmes. A number of these are based on the conclusions of Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT) reports.

The SEAT process is structured and participative, providing our operations with the means to assess their positive and negative impacts on local communities. It involves four key elements: a detailed profile of our operations and the local community; engagement with local interest groups to assess positive and negative impacts; the development of a management plan designed to maximise potential benefits and minimise negative impacts; and joint publication with local stakeholders of a SEAT report, which provides a benchmark for conduct in future.

Our latest SEAT review was carried out in our Russian logging operations and the report is available for download here.
