Social Licence To Operate

In today’s socially aware environment, securing a Social Licence to Operate (SLTO) is as vital as obtaining legal permits. Unlike regulatory licenses, SLTO is granted by communities — through trust, credibility, and consistent engagement. Sun Consulting provides expert support in helping companies earn and maintain their SLTO through robust community relations strategies, inclusive stakeholder dialogues, and evidence-based impact assessments. We understand that a company’s presence in a community can bring both opportunity and disruption. That’s why we prioritize two-way communication, co-creation of solutions, and early conflict mitigation as part of our advisory framework. Whether you’re entering a new region, expanding operations, or rebuilding community trust, our SLTO approach ensures that your business is viewed not as an outsider, but as a valued partner. With Sun Consulting, SLTO is not a one-time achievement — it is a continuous commitment to shared growth, transparency, and local empowerment.
