Implementation of Environmental Social and Governance Initiatives of Canadian Mining Companies

The overall goal of the proposed research project is a creation of a database on corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs and broader Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives sponsored by Canadian mining companies in the extractives sector, with a particular focus on programs directed to community development. The data aims to provide communities and other stakeholders with knowledge on community development and other programs implemented across the sector. The outcome will support the Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO) in identifying areas where its expertise can be applied and assist in engaging with the industry on implementation of CSR and community engagement initiatives.
