SOCIAL & RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL

Multi-Stakeholder Engagement Channels

CDL’s stakeholder-centric business approach positions us for long-term prosperity and solidifies our social license to operate. By understanding the positive and negative impacts that our business has on our stakeholders, CDL can better anticipate and meet their needs. We define our stakeholders as individuals or groups that have interests that are affected or could be affected by CDL’s operations.
