Q: Your stakeholder engagement is based on the commitments set down
in various documents. Can you explain this approach to us?
Mr. Dashkov:
As the company is convinced that regular and
meaningful engagement is an especially important element of suc-
cessful operations, Sakhalin Energy has been proactively sharing
information and consulting with stakeholders since the start of the
Sakhalin-2 project.
The company’s stakeholder engagement is based on its commitments, as
set forth in the Statement of General Business Principles – a key
company document – and the Code of Conduct, which includes
the rules and regulations necessary to observe said Principles. De-
tailed information about the commitments has been outlined in
documents such as Sustainable Development Policy, Human Rights
Policy, Commitments and Policy on HSE and Social Performance,
and Social Performance Standard.
All these documents define the engagement strategy, principles,
processes, mechanisms, and tools and are available to the general
public. Our day-to-day operations are outlined in the annual Public
Consultation and Disclosure Plan.
The strength of Sakhalin Energy is that all these documents are
incorporated into the corporate management system and the per-
formance of engagement activities is under close control by man-
agement. Moreover, general awareness on engagement is included
in the mandatory corporate training program. In order to ensure
compliance with the company’s requirements, special trainings are
conducted for contractors as well.
The engagement outcomes are available in our annual Sustainable
Development Report and Public Consultation and Disclosure Report.
Which mechanisms and tools do you use and what are your experiences with
these?
Stakeholder engagement mechanisms and tools are selected based
on the engagement goals and dependent on the stakeholder group.
Special attention is given to affected communities and vulnerable
groups.
We implement five basic complementary and interdependent mecha-
nisms: impact assessment consultations; three-level system of direct
communication with communities (including company, community
