The Mining and Resources sector accounts for 8% of South Africa’s GDP, and 16% of foreign direct investment. In many ways, it is a sector that still carries the hopes and dreams of the country – with various stakeholders holding different views on how the country’s immense mineral wealth should be managed. G3 Business Solutions has extensive experience in developing stakeholder management solutions for the mining industry.
This expertise in stakeholder management solutions for mining has grown in importance over the last decade, given the increased focus which a shared value and stakeholder-centric approach to business has gained in the mining and resources industries. Host communities, governments, strategic partners and shareholders have expectations that need to be factored into organisational planning.
Meanwhile, an evolving body of regulation governs how organisations are expected to undertake their social performance, stakeholder consultation, public participation and reporting on stakeholder-related engagement matters to their boards, regulators and stakeholders.
G3 Business Solutions has worked with several of the world’s leading companies in the extractive industry, including Anglo American (Kumba Iron Ore, Coal and Platinum divisions), De Beers, Rio Tinto Alcan, Sasol, BHP Billiton and Wesizwe Platinum, to develop stakeholder management solutions for the mining industry.
