What's Happening?
UK-based RSK Group has acquired Capire, Australia's largest standalone community engagement consultancy. Capire, founded in 2007 and certified as a B Corporation, works with government and private sector clients across energy, infrastructure, and public policy sectors. The acquisition aims to enhance RSK's multidisciplinary solutions in water, infrastructure, and energy projects. Capire's expertise in stakeholder engagement is expected to add value to RSK's consulting and engineering capabilities, while Capire's leadership will continue to operate the business.
Why It's Important?
The acquisition of Capire by RSK Group highlights the growing importance of community engagement in large-scale projects. As industries increasingly focus on sustainability and social responsibility, effective stakeholder engagement becomes crucial for successful project delivery. This move could strengthen RSK's position in the Australian market and expand its influence in sectors like energy and infrastructure. It also reflects a trend towards integrating social and environmental considerations into business operations, which can lead to more sustainable and community-focused outcomes.
