Moving from Transactional Compliance to Transformational Impact in the Energy Transition
How can social performance move beyond compliance to contribute to meaningful and lasting change in the renewable energy sector?
This is the question at the heart of RE-wiring Social Performance: Moving from Transactional Compliance to Transformational Impact in the Energy Transition, created during the REIPPPP Booksprint last year.
Bringing together a range of perspectives, experiences and expertise, the book explores how social performance can respond to the complexities of the energy transition, strengthen relationships with communities and contribute to more inclusive and equitable outcomes.
Now published and available to order, RE-wiring Social Performance is available for social performance practitioners, renewable energy developers, policymakers, researchers and others working to shape the future of the energy sector.
What will you find in the book?
The energy transition is not only a technical or economic undertaking. It is also shaped by people, communities, relationships and institutions. There are many influences and decisions that determine how renewable energy projects are developed and implemented.
RE-wiring Social Performance brings together contributions that examine the evolving role of social performance in this context. Across its chapters, the publication explores different dimensions of practice, challenges established approaches and considers what is needed to move towards more transformative impact.
The book offers perspectives on the systems, relationships and practices that underpin effective social performance, while highlighting opportunities to strengthen how the renewable energy sector understands and responds to its social responsibilities.
Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of social performance, reflect on your own practice or explore new approaches to working with communities, the publication offers insights and ideas to inform that journey.
