3. Identify the key stakeholders your organisation has specifically addressed in its CSR reporting. Evaluate to what extent the entity has shown an understanding of and responded to the legitimate needs and interests of these stakeholders. Indicate how you would enhance the
organisation's response to these stakeholders. It is expected that you will link these to the challenges noted in part 2 and provide specific examples to support your arguments. (approx. 500 words as a guide)
