Need

Licence to operate is slow to build and quick to lose.

Licence to operate is now an issue well beyond mining and energy, reaching renewables, grids and data centres. Those responsible need to know where they stand with communities, regulators, civil society and capital, early enough to act.

Local and group teams face the same issues from opposite ends:

  • Do the communities around each site trust us to keep our word?

    For site engagement and social performance.

  • Where are regulators and government moving, and who is moving them?

    For institutional relations and government affairs.

  • Which issues put our licence at risk across the portfolio?

    For group sustainability and ESG teams.

Problem

Existing tools split the picture. Your teams rebuild it by hand.

Most organisations already own good evidence. It sits with different teams, each rebuilding the picture by hand from its own mix of tools. Site teams hold the engagement and grievance record. Group teams run materiality and reporting. The teams are getting smaller as the problem gets bigger.

Nobody owns the whole picture. See how we compare

Solution

Keep one current picture of your licence to operate.

Your licence depends on what is happening around each operation, who is driving it and how you have engaged them. Genie maps that landscape, tracks it continuously and links it to your own engagement record. We use it to build the view your teams work from.

  • See the field that holds your licence.

    Genie links coverage, regulatory filings and civil society activity to each operation, material issue and organisation. Every site carries its consent state, the issues live around it and the bodies that moved last, with the source kept visible.

  • Read what it means for each operation.

    Each month the review brings the material issues, the groups behind them and the coverage that moved them into one document. It says what changed and why it matters. Every figure traces to its source.

  • Connect it to decision making.

    We work with you to design what sustainability, corporate affairs, risk and site teams each receive: the monthly review, stakeholder maps before key meetings, the answers on demand. Each cycle adds to the retained evidence base.

Proof

Proven where the licence is contested at site level and scrutinised at group level.

We work with operators whose licence is held by communities, regulators, civil society and capital at once, across many sites and jurisdictions. That field is too wide and moves too fast for periodic assessment or manual monitoring.

Featured case study

A mining major made ESG intelligence continuous

A technically strong group sustainability team was assembling stakeholder and ESG reporting by hand, twice a year, from inconsistent regional returns. Monitoring, engagement history and stakeholder positions sat in different places.

The team now works from one global, multilingual view of the material topics it is charged with, deepest in the group's core geographies. It uses that view to serve insight to country and sustainability teams across the group. Read more

Getting started

Start with the issue already in view.

Bring a material issue, project, operation, stakeholder field, reporting cycle or fragmented engagement record. TSC will turn it into the first working scope for the intelligence and delivery cadence it requires.

  • Define your scope

    Start with the requirements that are already clear. The scoping tool opens on this mission and connects the data, the stakeholders and the outputs into a working brief.

  • Book a briefing

    Thirty minutes with our team. Tell us what you are trying to solve in your external environment, and we will work through the challenge together. No seat-count qualification. No generic demo.

  • Send us a message

    Drop us a note describing your challenge, or make a general enquiry. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
