摘要
在加纳,矿区当地社区认为社区发展是企业社会责任的最重要方面,以至于社区发展往往被认为是矿业公司的法定责任。因此,当地社区要求对社区发展作出越来越多的贡献,有时费用高得令人望而却步。矿业公司无法满足所有的需求,往往导致矿业公司与其东道社区之间的不良关系,从而对采矿业务产生不利影响。这构成了一种商业风险,需要通过从早先为社区发展提供自愿捐款的做法转变为使可持续社区发展成为采矿业务的组成部分来适当处理。本文介绍了Golden Star (Bogoso/Prestea) Limited (GSBPL)多年来用于管理其Bogoso/Prestea矿区当地社区(BPMLC)发展的具有不同原则和行动计划的进化战略模型,从糟糕的慈善社区援助模式(PCAM)到改进但无效的社区驱动援助模式(CDAM),最终到目前有效,成功的企业社会责任协议模式(CSRAM)。该文件亦着重介绍了从制定《国家战略准则》的谈判过程中汲取的经验教训,以及实施该准则所带来的好处和成功,以及所面临的挑战。结论是,相互理解、宽容、透明、信任、承诺和问责是成功管理企业社会责任和社区发展的关键。关键词:社会责任,协议模式,矿业社区
Corporate Social Responsibility Agreements Model for Community Development: The Case of Golden Star (Bogoso/Prestea) Limited and its Mine Local Community*
In Ghana, community development is regarded by mine local communities as the most important aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), to the extent that often community development is perceived to be a statutory responsibility of mining companies. Consequently, mine local communities demand for more and more, sometimes prohibitively expensive, contributions towards community development. The inability of mining companies to meet all the demands often leads to unsavoury relation between mining companies and their host communities with concomitant adverse effect on mining operations. This constitutes a business risk that needs to be addressed properly by shifting from the earlier practices of making voluntary contributions towards community development to making sustainable community development an integral part of the mining business. This paper presents the evolutionary strategic models, with differing principles and action plans, used by Golden Star (Bogoso/Prestea) Limited (GSBPL) over the years to manage the development of its Bogoso/Prestea Mine Local Community (BPMLC), videlicet from a poor Philanthropic Community Assistance Model (PCAM) to an improved but ineffective Community Driven Assistance Model (CDAM) and eventually to the current effective, successful CSR Agreements Model (CSRAM). The paper also highlights the lessons learnt from the negotiation process that led to formulation of the CSRAM as well as the benefits and successes resulting from its implementation and the challenges. It is concluded that mutual understanding, tolerance, transparency, trust, commitment and accountability are key to the successful management of CSR and community development.
