HOW TO GO ABOUT IT

Use the Life Cycle Stakeholders template to identify the key stakeholders for your company and categorize them into the following categories:

Supply chain – Stakeholders that provide goods and services to the company

Customers – Stakeholders to whom we sell our goods and services.

Professional interest – Stakeholders whose professional activities may bring them into contact with us or have an impact on us.

Personal interest – Stakeholders who do not have a professional interest in our activities but may take a personal interest because our company has an impact on them in some way.

Generate ideas for how each of the stakeholders identified could potentially contribute to eco-innovation activities at the company – capture these ideas on sticky notes and place them on the Life Cycle Stakeholders template next to the relevant stakeholder.
