30. ETHICAL MINING
Gold industry added at least USD$210billion of
gross value added to the global GDP in 2012.
26% of exports 36% of exports 75% of exports
GHANA TANZANIA MALI
(AFRICAN ECONOMIC OUTLOOK, 2013)
Papua’s economic dependence on mining is approximately 30%. (Papos, 2013)
33. Expectations from society
• Last year, Freeport-McMoRan invested more than $23 million in Arizona
communities, most of which were in Southern Arizona, focusing on education,
health, environmental improvement and economic development investments.
(Freeport in My Community, 2014)
Why are they unethical?
Why only in Arizona? Why not so much in other areas?
(Government regulations, Education of community, etc.)
Conflicting Shareholder Goals
• It is difficult for companies to conduct CSR practices as a charity.
This is why Gov’t regulations are important – where they act as an excuse to
unwilling shareholders.
Nature of Work
Lack in Mining Technological Developments focusing on safety
• In 2012, investment in technology R&D by the mining industry was a mere
0.2% of revenue. Other industries invest as much as 30%. (Kachan, 2014)
34. Freeport. Are they really unethical?
• The Papuan community led by Governor Lukas Enembe has requested for a 10% shares from
Freeport for the compensation of their many years of operations in Papua and their little
contributions to the community. (Jakarta Post, April 19 2013.) This is despite the fact that
• Freeport has paid USD$955,600,000 in royalties and taxes to the Indonesian government in
2012 (Kurniawan, I. , 5 Feb 2013)
841200000
52800000
34500000 27100000
Breakdown of Royalties and Taxes
Central Gov't
District Gov't
Provincial Gov't
Other Gov't
Bodies
Papuans contested that the money is redistributed as such there were insufficient
developments done in Papua. The request to be a shareholder is one so that they can
obtain direct benefit from their contributions to Freeport.
35. What can you expect and cannot expect from
a mining company.
CANNOT CAN
Be Totally Environmentally
Friendly
• Minimize impact through R&D
• Make recurrent improvements on
existing practices (stop chemical
dumping)
• Prevention and mitigation
Guarantee absolute Safety of
Workers
• Pay better wages to compensate for
risk
• Buy better technologies to aid
mining activities
36. Conclusion
Above all while they are bound to take some things from the community that
they possibly cannot restore, they have the power to build infrastructures
that can help build the lives of the people. It’s all about give and take.
MNCs:
• Double-edged sword.
• They could either hurt communities or help them and both ways it is one
that has significant impact. Hence, they should be carefully approached.
Countries should be aware of their bargaining power
Country > Resource bound MNC
