The increasing importance of mining companies’ social investments in the midst of a pandemic

The long term benefits of supporting stakeholders now

As the global economy continues to contract due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mining companies are implementing cost cutting measures in magnitudes never seen before. This, in contrast with the rising needs of communities and dwindling means, is not easy to manage.

Our latest article explores how supporting key stakeholders and communities now will reap benefits for the industry in the long term.
