Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Checklist for Canadian Mining Companies Working Abroad

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.
