Public and governmental affairs

Modern public and governmental affairs demand a much wider perspective and toolkit than what has traditionally been assumed from consultants of “lobbying”.

New types of political risks and a volatile operational environment have become a reality even in markets that were previously considered stable and predictable. Today, public and government affairs must be conducted under new levels of transparency and integrate creative angles from for example stakeholder engagement, campaign-thinking, sustainability as well as research and analysis capabilities.

Organisations need support from a wider group of societal stakeholders to conduct their purpose. The purpose of public and governmental affairs is to maximize this support, and companies need proficiencies for building connections and interaction with various societal players. Cutting through the noise and influencing policy has become even more important due to the new rise of geopolitics.

Miltton´s Public and Government affairs team consists of consultants with a wide knowledge and many years of experience across sectors and from different institutions, including parliament, various ministries, political parties, NGOs and businesses.

3 integrated elements of modern public and government affairs

First a clear understanding of political influencing, second an understanding of broader stakeholder relations and communication and third a strategy to influence the public opinion. All of these elements are built on the foundation of ESG, transparency and reporting. Modern public and government affairs are supported by insight as well as qualitative and quantitative research. We make public and government affairs an elemental part of companies’ sustainability work, defining the principles for influencing the operating environment, the way that it’s done.
