Stakeholder Relations

We believe in relationships built on a foundation of dialogue and trust. Syncrude has had a presence in the Wood Buffalo region for over 30 years and we strive to be a good neighbour. From the very beginning, we have worked to build an environment of trust with local communities through a dedicated and comprehensive regional consultation strategy with the following principles:

• Syncrude has the responsibility to seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected.
• Public participants must be involved in designing consultation processes and, as far as possible, the process should meet the needs of all participants.
• The roles and responsibilities of participants in any consultation process must be clear and understood.
• Information relevant to participants’ understanding and evaluation of a decision will be fully disclosed to allow meaningful participation.
• Contributions to the consultation process will be fully considered in subsequent decision-making and feedback will be supplied to participants on how their input was utilized.
