Securing Your License to Operate at the Local Level

Securing Your License to Operate at the Local Level

CHESTNUT HILL, MA -Your company may have a strategic approach to corporate citizenship, but how is that being carried out on the facility level? Each facility has a unique relationship with its community, and the quality of this relationship can affect the facility's business goals as well as the company's reputation and success. Does your corporate approach to corporate citizenship extend to each individual facility? Are all facility managers able to address the issues, needs and concerns of diverse local stakeholders?

Each of your company's operating facilities needs to approach its business planning in the context of its external relationships. This course provides a practical framework for organizing a facility's resources to meet this need. It is designed for anyone with community affairs responsibility at the operational facility level - including plant managers, EHS professionals and other staff members - as well as for corporate professionals who oversee facility-level staff or programs.

• Business-driven external relations plans that include multiple communication strategies and social initiatives
• Understanding corporate citizenship and social initiatives in the context of local operations
• Aligning social initiatives with the interest, needs and concerns of local stakeholders
• Learning to work with local government to gain its support
• Applying community-sensitive decision-making techniques to business planning
