Social Licence to Operate The concept is extra-legal, abstract & ethereal: [T]he recognition and acceptance of a company‟s contribution to the community in which it operates, while moving beyond meeting basic legal requirements towards developing and maintaining the constructive stakeholder relationships necessary for business to be sustainable. Overall, it comes from striving for relationships based on honesty and mutual respect. So far, largely outside the „core business‟ of mining, but fundamentally changes the manner in which mining companies do business It implies that society can monitor & measure a project, and company performance throughout lifecycle of a project.
What is mining (through a people lens)? • Not only a corporatized entity, with embodied capital owned by private or public, operating with high level of technology in a large-scale manner • Fewer people in mechanised mining - only 1% of world‟s labour • Long history – copper age to bronze to iron, but also gold & gem stones. Artisanal mining – many more people • Modern mining – introduced through colonialism in Asia, miningled „enclave‟ type development • Coal in India, British Malaya and Dutch Indonesia - world‟s largest tin producers, Coal from French Vietnam • Push, poverty-induced & rush mining – informal sector. Illegal mining – to take advantage of high commodity prices
