Building Genuine Connection with Local Communities


At Positive Good, we know that renewable energy projects succeed when developers build genuine connections with communities. Without meaningful engagement, projects face resistance, delays, and reputational risks – and it’s not just for one company, but for the whole industry.

That’s why we’ve designed a suite of Community Engagement and Communications Strategy Workshops to help project developers build trust, gain social acceptance and reduce barriers to approval.

We’ve created four workshops that can be tailored to the needs of businesses:

• Genuine Connection Essentials – perfect for new market entrants who need an introduction to engagement requirements, stakeholder mapping, and building a purpose statement.

• Project Focused – for developers in the early stages of a project, with outputs including high-level messaging frameworks and context-setting interviews.

• Issues & Crisis Planning – designed for projects facing contentious issues or reputational risks, helping teams map stakeholder motivations and prepare crisis responses.

• Exploring Social Acceptance – for organisations with high-stakes projects, unpacking what social acceptance means and how to plan for community benefits.

Our team brings decades of experience in issues and crisis communications, marketing and community engagement for the renewables sector. Get in touch to find out more about these workshops.
