Environment (HSE)
To ensure proper and appropriate development occurs in
Oman and elsewhere globally, MB Holding Company (MBHC)
endorses the concept that communication with project
stakeholders is an essential component of any
environmental and socio-economic assessment process
and development of an Environmental and Social
Management Plan to enhance positive impacts and to
mitigate negative impacts.
MBHC is committed to pro-active and ongoing
communication with all agencies, organizations, and
individuals with an interest in development of its
projects.
A Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan (PCDP)
outlines and documents MB Holding’s consultation and
disclosure practices for activities occurring during:
|
▪ |
Exploration |
|
▪ |
Feasibility Studies |
|
▪ |
Development /
Construction of the Projects; and |
|
▪ |
Life of a Project.
|
The goal of this Process
is to ensure adequate information is provided to
project-affected people and other stakeholders in a
timely manner, and that these groups are provided
sufficient opportunity to voice their concerns and
opinions that can influence Project decisions. And
that the approach gives recognition to and is carried
out in a manner consistent with local cultural norms
of the area and of the country within which we
operate.
The PCDP is a tool for managing communications between
MB Holding, its subsidiary companies and stakeholders.
The PCDP aims to improve and facilitate decision
making and create an atmosphere of understanding that
actively involves individuals, groups, and
organizations that can affect, or be affected by,
development of a Project. Emphasis of the Plan is to
document implementation of a formal program in an
objective, simple manner to focus efforts on improving
communications between MB Holding its subsidiaries and
other interested parties. Monitoring and evaluation of
program results and behavior of the respective parties
will enable evolution and improvements to specific
programs over time.
