Social partnerships

We set out to build enduring relationships with our neighbours that are characterised by mutual respect, active partnership, and long term commitment.

We promote active partnerships at international, national, regional, and local levels.  They are based on mutual commitment, trust and openness.  Our relationships with communities involve consultation to open new production facilities, to run existing ones and to close them at the end of their operating lives.  In doing so, we support community based projects that can make a difference in a sustainable way without creating dependency.  We also assist regional development and training, employment and small business opportunities.  In developing countries, we are often asked to support health, education and agricultural programmes and, in collaboration with others, we help where practical.

The following partnerships are examples of how we work with other organisations to support our community policy.
