Glossary - Stakeholder

A stakeholder in a company or project is an individual, group, or organization that has an interest or concern in the organization. Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives, and policies. The term is widely used in business to refer to anyone who has a vested interest in the health and success of a business or entity. It encompasses both internal parties, such as employees and shareholders, and external parties, such as suppliers, creditors, and the community.
