communities<strong>Our</strong> assets have often been a part of many communities for decades, and likely will be for decades to come.Therefore, we take the opportunity to become part of the community. As neighbours, we share a <strong>responsibility</strong>for the well-being of the communities where we operate. As a responsible community member we need towork collaboratively with our neighbours to achieve success.Because communities give so much to <strong>ARC</strong> in terms of important infrastructure and access to resources, webelieve in contributing to these communities through direct involvement and charitable giving. <strong>ARC</strong> supportsthe communities we operate in through financial contributions to, and active partnerships with, variousorganizations. Responsible community citizenship also inspires us to communicate clearly and openly withour neighbours about our activities.<strong>Our</strong> Community CommitmentsGovernments might grant us permits to operate, but community members grant us permission. We realize that we must continue toremain a responsible citizen if we hope to retain our social license to operate. To ensure responsible community citizenship, we will:• Communicate fairly and openly with communities in which we operate• Engage community residents and landowners in operating decisions• Contribute 0.5 per cent of our rolling three year average net income to charitable organizationsBy the time of our next report we plan to:• Identify metrics and begin measuring other components of our interactions and relationships with communities<strong>Our</strong> Management ApproachWe focus our community interaction in two primary areas—stakeholder engagement and community investments. <strong>ARC</strong> follows adecentralized approach to community outreach because it puts decision making closest to the action.18 2 Corporate Responsibility
