Energy, Mining and Natural Resources

Canadian energy, mining and natural resource companies face mounting pressure to address the environmental, social and economic impacts of their operations on host countries and communities.

Key CSR issues include:

• Air and water emissions management
• Biodiversity management
• Community development
• Decommissioning, closure, and reclamation/remediation planning
• Human rights (and security)
• International guidelines and performance standards
• Materials and waste (e.g. tailings) management
• Product stewardship (life cycle analysis)
• Relations with indigenous peoples
• Social and environmental risk assessment
• Stakeholder engagement

How CBSR Can Help

CBSR supports its members to identify and respond to social, environmental and governance risks and opportunities. CBSR works both with the corporate headquarters and site staff to develop the strategies, priorities, programs and reporting/communication that address the needs of their various stakeholders.

Much of CBSR’s work includes on-site assessments of existing CSR policies and practices and facilitation of stakeholder engagement and community development efforts. This work is informed by our knowledge and expertise in the area of performance standards and guidelines.
