“…Over the last forty years, a large body of academic research has examined the theoretical notions of CSR and CSP from different perspectives [24][25][26]. Some definitions of CSR and CSP have been suggested [7,27], and there is not complete clarity about the interpretation of the key ideas that underlie these concepts.…”

This paper investigates the influence of organizations' board independence on corporate social performance (CSP) using a meta-analytic approach. A sample of 87 published papers is used to identify a set of underlying moderating effects in that relationship. Specifically, differences in the system of corporate governance, CSP measurement models and market conditions have been considered as moderating variables. The results show that the independence of a company's board positively influences CSP. This is because companies with more independent directors in their boards are more likely to commit to stakeholder engagement, environmental preservation and community well-being. Interestingly, the results also show that the positive connection between board independence and CSP is stronger in civil law countries and when CSP is measured by self-reporting data. Finally, the strength of the influence of the independence of a firm's board on CSP varies significantly in different market conditions. The paper concludes by presenting the main implications for academics, practitioners and policy makers.

“…Now, standardized sustainability reporting (often with the Global Reporting Initiative) is applied [23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The majority of international mining companies presented audited sustainability reports that annually record and announce their sustainability concerns during the year [30]; this suggests that mining operations and relevant businesses, like counterparts in other sectors, operate under the same rules that create shared value for all stakeholders [31].…”

The Status of the Local Community in Mining Sustainable Development beyond the Triple Bottom Line

et al. 2018

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.

“…The mining industry has progressed from environmental compliance (and associated standards, like ISO 14001), to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, to social license to operate (SLO) and now to sustainability reporting with standards like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Additionally, there are calls for mines and mining businesses, like their counterparts in other sectors, to operate in a way that creates shared value…”

Eliciting Drivers of Community Perceptions of Mining Projects through Effective Community Engagement

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
