“Controversial”…
• Increased pressure by governments and communities for
a larger share of profits
• Social benefits often underestimated
• Environmental degradation often more feared
than real
• Unrelenting civil society attention
• Amplified brand and reputational risk
…and yet no sector is more important to development than ours.
Industry context
21. IFC Sustainability Approach to Mining
Generating benefits for society in addition to profits for
investors, allows projects to acquire a “social license to operate”.
Key dimensions for successful sustainable development in mining
• Broad and ongoing community consultation with affected
communities
• Generating community benefits by broadening economic
opportunities (linkages)
• Assistance in prudent government use of revenues (good governance,
revenue transparency)
The Sustainable Approach
