Key Stakeholder Comment
Each year we commission an independent survey of our key stakeholders. This year, we were very pleased to receive the following comment from the survey researchers:
“This year’s results show a marked improvement on previous years. This is mainly due to Landcare Research’s proactive engagement in the CRI Taskforce reform process, greater collaboration and alignment with stakeholders at a strategic level and cooperation with other providers and end–users. There is a high level of trust in Landcare Research’s work and stakeholders appreciate Landcare Research’s honesty and shared values. Stakeholders also like Landcare Research’s greater use of tailored newsletters and research summaries.”
