Congo - The CSR approach of mining companies

Mining companies are thus called upon to refer to the management approach that effectively integrates economic, environmental, and social issues into operations, aiming to create long-term benefits for stakeholders and ensure the support, cooperation, and trust of the local communities in which the company operates. According to the United Nations Environment Program, "a mining project that is developed, operated, and closed with ecological and social acceptability could be considered as contributing to sustainable development." Sustainable development thus seeks to reconcile economic and social progress with the preservation of the environment, considered as a heritage to be passed on to future generations.

Reference

To regulate investment in the mining sector, the Republic of Congo adopted a mining code in April 2005. This mining code establishes attractive conditions and a clear regime for agreements for mining exploration and exploitation. Book 2 of the mining code, in its articles 102 and following, defines the specific rights and obligations relating to mining operations, industrial safety, hygiene, environmental preservation, and administrative oversight. Congo's sustainable development policy generates significant inequalities between, on the one hand, powerful firms, and on the other, populations and local actors who are ill-prepared to integrate sustainable development as an objective in itself.

The government encourages private investment through various legislative tools. It plays a role in monitoring and controlling mining activities within a clear, transparent, and non-discriminatory framework. These objectives are also affirmed in legislative texts that establish the principle of ensuring a balance between the development of productive activities and environmental management, the essential role of which is to guarantee the stability of production systems. Companies in the mining sector are thus called upon to integrate these concerns into their daily activities.
