Community engagement

At Xstreco, we recognize that our operations can have a significant impact on the local communities in which we operate. We are committed to engaging with these communities in a proactive and respectful manner, building strong relationships based on trust, mutual understanding and shared benefits.

Our approach to community engagement is guided by several key principles and initiatives:

‍

Open and Transparent Communication:

We prioritize maintaining open lines of communication with local communities to ensure they are informed about our operations and have the opportunity to voice their concerns and opinions. This includes holding regular meetings, providing project updates and sharing relevant information in a timely and accessible manner.

‍

Active Listening and Responsiveness:

We strive to truly understand the needs, concerns and aspirations of local communities by actively listening to their feedback and incorporating their perspectives into our decision-making processes. We are committed to addressing community concerns and working collaboratively to find mutually beneficial solutions.

‍

Inclusive and Culturally Appropriate Engagement:

We strive to ensure that our engagement efforts are inclusive and culturally appropriate, taking into account the diverse needs and preferences of different community members. This includes providing information in local languages, working with community leaders, and adapting our engagement methods to the local context.

‍

Capacity Building and Empowerment:

We recognize the importance of helping local communities build their capacity to participate effectively in decision-making processes. We provide training, resources and support to help community members develop the skills and knowledge they need to advocate for their interests and make informed decisions.

‍

Long-term Commitment and Relationship Building:

We recognize that building strong relationships with local communities takes time and effort. We are committed to maintaining a long-term presence in the communities where we operate, investing in ongoing engagement initiatives, and working together to address challenges and seize opportunities.

‍

Monitoring and Evaluation:

We regularly monitor and evaluate our community engagement efforts to ensure that they are effective, inclusive, and aligned with our commitments. This includes soliciting feedback from community members, tracking our progress, and adjusting our approach as needed to continually improve our engagement practices.
