CSR Strategy
The Brinkley Mining CSR strategy consists of two planks of activity.
They are:
i. Embedding CSR across our business
It is imperative, for Brinkley’s CSR strategy to be successful, that we internalise and embed the competencies & activities required to consistently behave responsibly in every aspect of the mining lifecycle.
We plan to do this by:
- Internally agreeing a Social Issues Management System
- Training the appropriate functional persons in the operation of the management system
A systematic & disciplined approach to CSR embraced by every part of our business – and applied in every aspect of the mining lifecycle - will ensure that we:
- recognise potential threats and opportunities before, during and after our activities;
- systematically map and engage with stakeholders;
- plan, in a structured & guided manner, how to mitigate impacts and create the kind of positive interventions that will ensure a net positive impact, however brief our engagement;
- consistently report on our behaviour;
- plan for, and demonstrate, continuous improvement in our behaviour in a way that will reflect the expectations of our stakeholders.
ii. Establishing partnerships and collaborations at the corporate level and where we operate:
Brinkley Mining recognises that developmental issues are not naturally part of a mining company’s core skill-set.
We therefore believe that (as the 2002 Earth Summit in Johannesburg highlighted) the establishment of partnerships with business, NGOs and civil society will be a key ingredient in addressing the needs in developing countries in a sustainable manner.
