Community Issues

• Project Operators seen as:

1. Absent and unwilling to visit local people 2. Creating barriers that local people cannot overcome 3. Not genuine

• Security Operators see landowners as:

1. A security threat that may shut down the project 2. An economic threat with un-checked claims for compensation/contracts 3. Not capable of delivering services to the required standards 4. Not trusted

Social License to Operate

• A Social License to Operate (SLO) is a community’s perceptions of the

acceptability of a company and its local operations.

Thomson and Boutilier (2011)

SLO – 6P Framework

• 1. People. We believe people are at the centre of what we do and we value

their experience.

• 2. Projects. We have successfully delivered on projects across the region.
• 3. Place. We understand the culture, people and government of the areas

we operate.

• 4. Partners. We work to develop strong partnerships at all levels for mutual

benefit.

• 5. Presence. We seek to create a positive, lasting contribution for our

projects.

• 6. Past. We value our past experience and carry that knowledge into the

present.

People

• People. We believe people are at the centre of what we do and we value their experience.
• Community Security seeks to have the goals of participants in the impact area, the

security company and the investment company as one and the same. The result being that the whole community will rally to support the local project where a significant amount of community outcome is tied to the project in a positive way.

• Stakeholders include:
• Landowners
• Indigenous populations (impact area, tribe/village, clan, district, province, country)
• Staff
• Interest Groups
