Modern society is faced with many challenges, which are accompanied by profound economic, political, socio-cultural changes
The standard categorizes a wide range of stakeholders as stakeholders, including: company employees and their families; regulatory bodies, including local authorities; owners and shareholders; suppliers, contractors and subcontractors; local community; non-governmental organizations (NGOs), etc
It should be noted that in large mining countries a special practice has developed to take into account the interests of the local population when carrying out mining operations and further land reclamation
Summary
Modern society is faced with many challenges, which are accompanied by profound economic, political, socio-cultural changes. The external social environment, in which modern coal mining companies have to work, is no exception. One of such active factors of the external environment is the local community - the inhabitants of those territories in which active mining is carried out. Relations between mining companies and the local community acquire a conflicting nature, which negatively affects both the tangible and intangible assets of the company, and the socio-economic and environmental situation in the areas of industrial mining. In 2014, Rachel Davis, Daniel Franks, experts from the Shift International Center for assessing the compliance of the business environment with the UN human rights requirements, prepared an analytical publication dedicated to assessing the costs incurred by extractive companies due to conflicts with local communities. For a world-class mining project, they can be as high as US $ 20 million per week of delay. [2]
