<p>O presente artigo tem como finalidade avaliar se o “Programa Mineração” lançado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Mineração (IBRAM) consiste em um exemplo claro de autorregulação privada no setor minerário, de implementação de boas práticas na atividade e, ainda, serve como exemplo de responsabilidade social das empresas que atuam em tal segmento econômico. No presente estudo far-se-á, incialmente, uma avaliação breve acerca da regulação estatal, seus principais aspectos e características. Em seguida, será apreciado o conceito de autorregulação privada, englobando a exposição de suas principais vantagens e algumas desvantagens. Buscar-se-á enquadrar o “Programa Mineração” justamente na definição de autorregulação. Posteriormente, procurar-se-á demonstrar a necessidade e importância da responsabilidade social das empresas, com destaque àquelas que desempenham atividades de mineração.</p><p> </p><p>This article aims to evaluate whether the "Mining Program" launched by the Brazilian Mining Institute (IBRAM) consists of a clear example of private self - regulation in the mining sector, the implementation of good practices in the activity and also serves as an example Of social responsibility of companies operating in such economic segment.

Zambian Copperbelt

Abstract Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within the extractive industry is a relevant and contentious issue globally. Issues pertaining to equality, human rights and sustainable development are pervasive throughout the economic, social and environmental arenas of the extractive industry. There is still not consensus on the definition of CSR regarding the measurement of performance or impact, or how to determine which of the various ‘developmental’ components of the concept – namely economic, social or environment – takes precedent over the other where there are competing interests. This article on CSR in the Zambian Copperbelt uses the experiences of mining communities as stakeholders who have gone through three types and eras of CSR practices within a generation. The Zambian Copperbelt has a history of operating under colonial rule, nationalisation and privatisation. The aim is to interrogate the CSR practices of the three identified eras in the history of the Zambian Copperbelt. The article is based on the findings from a mainly qualitative research approach. The research employed the survey procedure through focus groups, personal interviews and inputs from key informants. The findings are presented by a selection of narratives of CSR experiences from the Zambian Copperbelt mining communities. Consequently, an in depth discussion and analysis reflecting the effects of a CSR enabling environment in the three eras as experienced by community members follows. The paper concludes with a brief overview of the lessons learnt throughout the three eras. Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Development, Mining Sector Opsomming Korporatiewe Sosiale Verantwoordelikheid (KSV) binne die ontginningsindustrie is ‘n relevante en omstrede kwessie wêreldwyd. Kwessies met betrekking tot gelykheid, menseregte en volhoubare ontwikkeling is universeel ooglopend binne die ekonomiese-, sosiale- en omgewingsarenas van die mynsektor. Daar is steeds nie konsensus oor die definisie van KSV rakende die meting van prestasie of impak daarvan nie, ook nie hoe om te bepaal watter een van die verskillende “ontwikkelings” komponente van die konsep (naamlik die ekonomiese, sosiale of omgewingsaspek) bevoordeel moet word bo die ander, waar daar mededingende belange is nie. Hierdie artikel oor KSV in die Zambiese Koperstreek gebruik die ervarings van myngemeenskappe as belanghebbendes wat deur drie tipes en tydperke van KSV praktyke gegaan het, binne ‘n generasie. Die Zambiese Koperstreek het ‘n geskiedenis van die bedrywighede onder koloniale heerskappy, nasionalisering en privatisering. Die doel is om die KSV praktyke van die drie bogenoemde eras te ondersoek deur die geskiedenis van die Zambiese Koperstreek. Hierdie artikel is gebaseer op die bevindinge van ‘n hoofsaaklik kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering en het gebruik gemaak van fokusgroepe, persoonlike onderhoude en insette deur sleutel informante. Die bevindinge word aangebied deur ‘n seleksie van verhale rakende die KSV ervarings van die Zambiese Koperstreek myngemeenskappe. Daarna volg ʼn in-diepte bespreking en ontleding rakende die gevolge van ‘n KSV bemagtigende omgewing, in die drie eras soos ervaar deur lede van die gemeenskap. Die artikel sluit af met ‘n kort oorsig oor die lesse wat geleer is oor die drie eras. Sleutelwoorde: Korporatiewe Sosiale Verantwoordelikheid, Ontwikkeling, Mynsektor

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has today become the rhetoric of every Business Enterprise, especially those engaged in Natural Resource Development. This is in recognition of its intrinsic value to the business bottom line and its ability to stave off social and reputation risks that may not only affect a project's rate of return, but also subject to questioning, its ‘social licence’ to operate. But the ‘free rider’, ‘green wash’ and ‘blue wash’ problems that result from self-regulation inherent in the practical implementation of CSR initiatives, has led to questions as to whether self regulation as exemplified in the ‘soft law’ approach to CSR and transparency, is really the answer to the problem of using CSR and Transparency initiatives, to ensure that Mineral Resource Development benefits all parties on the Mineral Development Triangle. Is government regulation a better option or should industry driven self-regulation be allowed to continue? This paper reviews the above issues using examples from a few countries to show the way forward.
