The context • A global industry with a patchy past • Increasing scrutiny and expectations for improved
performance • No longer remote and hidden - significant change and
growth in Industry capacity and understanding over the past 15 years.
• WB Extractive Industries Review: The Resource Curse • A systemic approach emerging Can Resource Development work for everyone?

Social Licence to Operate • The industry has influence • Functioning societies work best – we need people to
work for us, partner with us and to buy from us • Often there is a convergence of long term interests • Business Drivers - most Companies cannot operate
well in communities that don’t want the business there.
• Resource Development brings change and people affected want to share the benefits and minimize the negatives

Social and Environmental Assessment • Environmental and social assessments have been
used for a number of years • Significant maturity in the development of
environmental and social assessment and management systems.
• Environmental and social management has become institutionalized in most large Resources companies.
• Successful implementation is the biggest challenge • Issues across the life cycle – exploration;
development; operations; closure; monitoring

Resources Sector history with HIA • Health has largely focused on worker health but many
companies have public and community health programs (Malaria, STDs) for their workforce and communities
• HIA largely has not featured beyond a simple health statement in the EIA
• HIA is not generally required by legislation • While health is recognised, there is a lack of systems,
capability and skills • Increasingly required (eg: by the IFC, Equator
Principle Banks)

Influencing Corporate Decision Making • Resources sector is global • Senior Executives largely do not represent a ‘national’
perspective • Market (Opportunity) driven and ‘risk’ focused • Sites tend to be command and control • Oversee many similar operations across the world but
operations have high levels of autonomy (and a local focus) • Internally projects compete globally for funding • Implement through complex and long supply chains • Often disconnected from the mid tiers and SMEs who are
delivering the activity on which commitments have been made
