Challenge the practice is addressing: This practice addresses facility-level assessments for companies about their current standard of performance indicators for community outreach for each distinct site or facility. This protocol should help to provide guidelines to companies in evaluating their performance of their community outreach by monitoring four performance indicators according to this assessment tool.

Concrete practice to achieve the expected goal: This protocol should help companies to monitor their current standard of community outreach performance on a regular basis by monitoring the following four performance indicators: 1. Community of interest (COI) identification, 2. Effective COI engagement and dialogue, 3. COI response mechanism, 4. Reporting. This includes special notes relating to Sami and reindeer husbandry

Expected impact/goal of the practice: The aims of this protocol is to ensure that companies follow guidelines regularly based on the four performance indicators to assist companies in developing their capacity to monitor and improve their performance and to provide a basis for the related auditing.
