L2 - V3 PESTLE and Stakeholders
PESTLE and
Stakeholders
Part of CENG0016 Sustainability
L2_V3
Summary
• Two tools to analyse societal factors surrounding your projects are
discussed – PESTLE and the Power-Interest Matrix.
• PESTLE Analysis aims to help the project be proactive rather than
reactive.
• Stakeholders: Their different needs and management strategies.
• Carbon Offsetting.
• Economic
• Social
• Technological
• Legal
• Environmental
Stakeholders (1/2)
Who has the power and interest to affect
your proposed process?
• Bank/Shareholders – if project is not
profitable they will not fund your efforts.
• Employees are seeking work life balance
and safe working conditions.
• Community wants clean operations and
support for quality of life.
• Politicians want to bring new jobs
• Suppliers want you to buy their products
• How do you manage those stakeholders?
Stakeholders (2/2)
Why is it important to actively
consider stakeholders?
Case Study: Brent Spar
• Concrete pillar weighing 14.5kT
that was used for crude oil
storage by Shell/Esso until 1991.
• What is the key learning from this
/ where did Shell go wrong?
Offsetting (1/2)
• Research what is carbon offsetting.
• Read the FT opinion on offsets
(LINK).
• Find what is UCL’s carbon offsetting
policy.
• The ChemEng department also has
one! (can you find it?)
Offsetting (2/2)
• Is offsetting worth it for your project?
• How do you start answering that question?
• What are the advantages of offsetting from the perspective of
Bentham Corporation?
• Is offsetting a long-term and large-scale solution?

Next…
Start thinking and researching about your own PESTLE and
stakeholder analyses.
• Prepare a couple of slides to share on the Q&A session.
