Corporate Social Responsibility:
Bridging the Cultural Divide on the Ground

Hosted by the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines

Managing mining communities has become an issue in some mining operations particularly those held by some foreign companies. While there may have been too much expectation on the part of community residents from the mining company (whether in exploration or operating stage) on one hand, there may have also been commitments made by the company (in either the community or the LGUs) early on to be able to get endorsement or the free and prior consent. Conflicts arise when these are not fulfilled and when expectations are not met.

In some instances and possibly without knowing it, foreigners roaming around the community in expensive vehicles normally provoke nationalistic sentiments among community residents. Community residents on the other hand are also not familiar with the culture of foreigners thereby causing antagonism towards the mining company. Resentment by community residents leads to opposition and this turns into conflicts when NGOs opposed to mining offer them leadership and advocacy.

The 13th Lecture Series will provide insights into best practices in CSR and how conflicts on the ground between the company and the community residents can be avoided. Causes of conflicts will be evaluated including the cultural aspects specific to the Philippines. Focus on preventing conflicts will be discussed including CSR standards and benchmarks. Partnership with the local communities and other stakeholders that will support the mining business at the operational level will be explored as this is the key in the successful management of the operations and in building social and economic prosperity.

Managing Mining Royalties: Insights into Best Practices in IPs/Aboriginal Communities

Hosted by the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines

IPs and IP communities in the Philippines have recently been recipients of mining royalties. How these resources are being managed have yet to be known and documented as it is still in its embryonic stage. There have been flaws in managing revenues at the local levels and in remote mining communities with limited experience and skills as well as inadequate access to information, interventions have to be made by Civil Society Organizations or by mining companies to help IPs develop their communities in a way they see fit.

In Canada, the government ensures that IPs/Aboriginal communities benefit from mining royalties through the negotiation of binding agreements between companies and communities, known as Impact and Benefit Agreement (IBA). The IBA provides the mechanisms for establishing formal relationships between mining companies and local communities for the following primary purposes: address the adverse effects of commercial mining activities on local communities and their environments; and, ensure aboriginals receive benefits from the development of mineral resources.

This 12th Lecture Series will provide insights into best practices in IPs/Aboriginal Communities in terms of managing mining royalties. Focus on enhancing finance and management practices and skills will be presented in helping IPs better manage and govern their communities and organizations for the information of companies and other stakeholders. The President and Executive Director of the Aboriginal Financial Association of Canada (AFOA) will give the lecture based on the premise that effective management is key to building social and economic prosperity and essential to IP governance.

MINING FINANCIAL FORUM SLATED ON JAN. 20-21 AT HOTEL INTERCONTINENTAL MANILA, PHILIPPINES

The Chamber of Mines together with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and the Financial Executives Institute (FINEX) will gather experts from financial institutions, banks, brokers, underwriters, investment houses, political risk and insurance providers to a forum with mining company CEOs, CFOs and other stakeholders to map out funding and financial options in the industry amidst the current financial crisis.

Chamber President Benjamin Philip Romualdez said as mining projects reach various stages of feasibility development and expansion plans which require large capital infusion, the forum will be the most propitious time for the industry to strategize and ensure the continuing development of the mining industry. Financial institutions on the other hand, will be able to ensure liquidity aside from marketing their products and services.

Participants to the forum will be immersed to a whole gamut of topics from the global financial outlook for the industry and the corresponding opportunities and risks; valuation for metal and mining, funding mechanisms, raising capital for mature exploration and feasibility studies, structured finance and syndicated bank loans, the equities market, corporate governance and sustainability, hedging and political risk and insurance.

Interested parties can register directly to the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines by filling up the registration form and fax to 635-4160.
