Breakout session 2: Social license to operate: Can companies really value their environmental and social footprint? What is the cost of failing to do so?

Often companies are faced with unforeseen circumstances which force them to re-evaluate best practices and more paternal CSR initiatives.

In this session, we will examine the evolution of CSR programs and strategic engagements associated with long-term partnerships with communities. We will hear an example case study from Torex Gold on the challenges and successes to improving local development independent of the mine.
