Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Checklist for Canadian Mining Companies Working Abroad
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Checklist was developed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to provide Canadian mining companies developing mining projects abroad with a tool that can assist them to plan for and mitigate potential environmental, social and ethical challenges they may encounter. This document touches on issues such as addressing human right concerns, local employment and procurement and international standards and guidelines. It is an excellent checklist designed to raise awareness of basic community relation approaches and to prepare companies to successfully engage communities and address social risk.
Transparency International, the Berlin-based global anti-corruption organization, has just released its twelfth progress report (the 2018 Exporting Corruption Report) on the enforcement of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (the OECD Convention) . This report follows on 11 reports published annually from 2005 to 2015. It is an occasion to reflect on what has been achieved by the OECD Convention so far and what more can be expected in the coming years.
