We explore how corporates can maintain and rebuild stakeholder trust.
Having the trust of stakeholders and the community has never been more important in corporate Australia. In an environment of constant scrutiny, the impact that a company – its products and services, culture or operations – has on people and the environment has become everyone’s business. An organisation’s social licence to operate is not a given and can quickly be challenged, in turn impacting its future and the broader market.
To build sustainable trust, greater transparency is key – from finances to supply chain operations, ethics, risk mitigation and more. In addition, organisations must consider how they are proactively building relationships and listening to stakeholders. They need to be willing to change, and to embrace technologies to better understand their impact on people and communities.

Without public confidence that AI is being developed and used in an ethical and trustworthy manner, it will not be trusted and its full potential will not be realised. Are we capable of extending our trust to AI?
