The success of a project is often dependent upon more than just superior engineering, procurement and construction. Recognition of the various stakeholder, their issues or concerns and how to address and/or mitigate those challenges is critical.
Consultation with stakeholders is more than an obligation for regulatory approval. It is a collective opportunity to minimize loss, maximize benefit and achieve outcomes greater than the sum of their parts.
Our Stakeholders Engagement Team has over 20 years experience of working in public policy and government relations. Our experience is in bringing all parties together so that projects run smoothly and on time. Federal, provincial, regional and municipal governments, including First Nations and environmental organizations, international corporations and local firms are engaged professionally to achieve and exceed the desired goals. Sterling-Ridge is committed to providing the expertise necessary for sustaining mutual interests amongst all stakeholders. With this leadership, we create positive relations amongst our clients, the public, the government and First Nations.
We at Sterling Ridge recognize the importance of stakeholders to the success of your project and offer an experienced team to identify and manage those issues to ensure that your project can be constructed profitably and responsibly.
