Catching up on overdue reading over the weekend…
ICMM’s Kathryn McPhail won the Bronze Award for the International Finance Corporation (IFC)/Financial Times (FT) essay competition for her essay, “Sustainable Development in the Mining and Minerals Sector: The Case for Partnership at Local, National and Global Levels”. While always a good source of materials, I found this document of the Resouce Endowment Initiative to be one of the better articulated cases about the importance of of companies working with government at the sub-national level. I was shaking my head a lot.
I am impressed by the ICMM process, which appears to use a transparent methodology that it keeps open to input from a wide variety of stakeholders.
