Besides bad publicity due to negative environmental impacts and the resulting stricter government legislation and public pressures, poor sustainability performance affects the long-term profitability of a business.…”

Sustainable mining has received much attention in recent years as a consequence of the negative impacts of mining and public awareness. The aim of this paper is to provide mining companies guidance on improving the sustainability of their sites through effective community engagement based on recent advances in the literature. It begins with a review of the literature on sustainable development and its relationship to stakeholder engagement. It then uses the literature to determine the dominant factors that affect community perceptions of mining projects. These factors are classified into five categories: environmental, economic, social, governance and demographic factors. Then, we propose a new two-stage method based on discrete choice theory and the classification that can improve stakeholder engagement and be cost-effective. Further work is required to validate the proposed method, although it shows potential to overcome some of the challenges plaguing current approaches.

“…Non-governmental organizations (NGO), general citizens, and stakeholders are also affected by and responded to these issues related to mining. In recent years, the consideration of sustainable development (the ability of current generations to meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [4]) has been seen as a great importance all over the world [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Metal and metalloid distribution in soils from the Katanga Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo) were investigated in order to characterize the environmental impacts of mining and smelting activities in that area [15].…”

Abstract:Mineral products provide essential fuels and raw materials for industrialization and our daily life, but their influences on other aspects of life need to be taken into consideration. While the whole world benefits from mining's contributions, most of the resulting detrimental impacts on the environment and society fall on the local communities. The participation of the local community is one solution to decrease the risks from community-related problems. Subsequently, the requirements of mining sustainable development can be met. A literature review was conducted on mining sustainability and stakeholder participation, and the shortcomings of existing research and difficulties of further study were discussed in detail. This study covers a broad understanding of mining sustainability from a mining community's perspective. In addition, it offers a new mining sustainability scope based on the literature review. Besides the balance of economic, environmental, and social aspects, the mine owner and local community have to be engaged in the new mining sustainability scope. This literature review could improve community engagement and help mining companies to better understand local mining communities.

“…Estudos relacionados à sustentabilidade e a preocupação coorporativa com aspectos ambientais e sociais têm emergido com grande força nos últimos anos de modo a abordar questões ambientais importantes (Elkington, 1998;Newell e Muro, 2006;Schaefer, 2004;Wagner, 2005). Evidências de estudos anteriores já sugerem a existência de uma associação positiva entre a performance social e econômica (Orlitzky, Schmidt e Rynes, 2003;Guiral, 2012) assim como da performance ambiental e econômica (Wagner, 2005; Russo e Fouts, 1997; Rao e Holt, 2005) e da performance social e ambiental (Schaefer, 2004). Logo, tais embasamentos dão sustentação para as três primeiras hipóteses deste estudo.…”

RESUMOAções de inovação empresarial representam esforços para identificar estratégias e ações adaptativas e pró-ativa frente à complexidade do ambiente de negócios, a fim de melhorar a performance organizacional. Além disso, é necessário considerar a performance organizacional de acordo com as três dimensões de sustentabilidade (econômica, social e ambiental). Este estudo investiga as relações entre a inovatividade e as performances social, econômica e ambiental em indústrias de transformação do Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa foi realizada com a participação de 140 empresas. As relações hipotéticas do estudo foram estimadas por meio de análise de correlação e análise de regressão linear. Os resultados sugerem um impacto significativo e positivo da inovatividade nas performances ambiental, social e econômicas, com impacto mais acentuado sobre a dimensão ambiental. Também os resultados sugerem que existe uma inter-relação acentuada entre as três dimensões da performance organizacional sustentável.
