Institutional Relations manage how an organization interacts with the government and its legislative and regulatory branches, as well as institutions such as chambers, trade associations, and think tanks. Having an Institutional Relations strategy allows the company to have a plan of action that helps navigate the complex and ever-changing political, social, and economic environment in which it operates. Moreover, as a company expands into new countries where the rules and regulations may differ, local expertise or stakeholder engagement is needed.
An Institutional Relations strategy is designed to help a company build and maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders such as government officials, community leaders, and the media, and if needed, to influence public policy that may impact its operations or industry.
