Criterion B.3 - Stakeholder engagement of internal stakeholders

A successful Bilan Carbone® approach also requires raising awareness and building competency on energy, climate and transition issues among internal stakeholders (employees, managers, executive teams). Indeed, beyond the relevance of reduction actions, the success of a low-carbon transition relies on findings, challenges and objectives that are shared and understood by all.

Internal stakeholders are considered to include all collaborators of the organisation carrying out a Bilan Carbone®. This may include people actively involved in the approach, such as contributors during data collection, managers responsible for reduction actions or coordinators within the executive team, but also people not involved in the approach.

Candidate tools will be expected to justify elements of awareness-raising and/or competency-building for all of these internal stakeholders. These stakeholder engagement and awareness-raising sessions for internal stakeholders may take the form of expert support, or the provision of adapted resources to be used by people less familiar with energy and climate topics.

Furthermore, particular attention will be paid to the messages directed at managers and executive functions, in order to ensure that the candidate tool seeks to engage them in a lasting manner on the subject of low-carbon transition.

Criterion

Mandatory	Criterion B.3 - Stakeholder Engagement of Internal Stakeholders
Question	Does the candidate tool ensure awareness-raising and/or competency-building on energy, climate and transition issues among internal stakeholders (employees, managers, executive functions)?
Answers	Yes, the candidate tool ensures awareness-raising / stakeholder engagement of internal stakeholders through its user journey and offers dedicated resources for executive teams No, the candidate tool ensures awareness-raising / stakeholder engagement of internal stakeholders through its user journey, but without specifically addressing executive teams No, the candidate tool does not ensure awareness-raising / stakeholder engagement of internal stakeholders through its user journey
Implementation guidance	If the elements ensuring competency-building are not directly accessible on the candidate tool, request the transmission of everything that can reflect this approach (awareness-raising materials, webinar replays, questionnaires, etc.) Look for the presence of features enabling team stakeholder engagement, such as role management or an employee questionnaire. Verify the presence of awareness-raising or stakeholder engagement elements specifically targeting executive teams. This may for example take the form of awareness-raising content such as adapted reporting formats.
