  • Communications & Sustainability in the Mining Industry
    CHANGING THE GAME COMMUNICATIONS & SUSTAINABILITY IN THE MINING INDUSTRY 1 ABOUT THIS REPORT The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and Brunswick Group work with senior communications professionals in the mining industry in a variety of ways. Each organization has noticed an increased focus on the need for mining companies to effectively communicate with stakeholders and decided to collaborate to develop a better understanding of how communications is used to support business outcomes and sustainability efforts. The insights in this report are drawn from conversations with industry leaders and practitioners as well as the first-hand experience of IFC and Brunswick Group advising on a variety of situations from new mine development to mergers and acquisitions. The publication does not aim to be exhaustive, but the trends and practical examples identified in the report may be instructive to communications professionals and others in the mining industry. Courtesy of Rio Tinto: Magnetite loading bay 2 HOW COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORTS SUSTAINABILITY: 5 TRENDS Creating an environment for effective stakeholder dialogue “Under-engagement is the biggest risk.” Using transparency to build trust “Not understanding and listening … is a sure way to create mistrust.” Integrating communications to enhance sustainability efforts “Communication is not just what we say but how we react to queries from stakeholders.” Prioritising internal communication and corporate culture “Everyone is an ambassador of the company.” Measuring impact “We are linking manager performance to how quickly they respond to grievances.” 3 Changing EXPECTATIONS, CHANGING COMMUNICATIONS In 2011 a junior exploration company operating in range of information. Merely pushing information out is a well-known mining region was riding high.
