About the Forum

Every year, we bring together key stakeholders that cut across regulators, agencies of government, civil society organisations and customers to hold important deliberations in the interest of our esteemed consumers and host communities. 

 

This two-way engagement strengthens frank conversations that are vital to building a sustainable future for both the industry and our host communities.

Why the Forum? 

In bringing to life our commitment to resetting our stakeholder engagement, we deployed a materiality survey to understand the issues that are most important to our stakeholders. This year, our stakeholders have identified Packaging & Waste Management as a burning issue of high impact on the society.

Consequently, our 2021 stakeholders’ forum is designed to create an environment for robust and authentic deliberation between the company and its valued stakeholders on the theme of Packaging & Waste Management as a step towards co-creating a sustainable solution to the challenge of packaging waste management.

Stakeholders expected at the Forum will be drawn from Regulatory agencies, relevant MDAs from both the state and federal governments, the diplomatic community, the Academia, Industry Associations, NGOs, consumers, suppliers, and other trade partners.
 

We believe in fostering a forward-thinking and transparent environment that prioritizes constant and open conversations about issues that are important to our stakeholders. The annual NBC Stakeholders Forum is one of the platforms that allows us listen to these stakeholders and explore opportunities to elevate governance, stimulate innovation and advance the growth of the sector.
