In this episode, we chat with Tricia Wilhelm, Head of Social Performance for Anglo American, one of the largest and most diversified mining companies in the world.

Tricia has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the mining industry. Her experience has been around Sustainable Development, Social Performance, Stakeholder Engagement, Resettlement, and Social Impact Assessment. We are here today to have a more in-depth discussion around ESG and social performance and how we as a mining community can better prepare ourselves for future changes in the industry.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Social performance is about everything you are doing to maintain your social license to operate.
It is not about philanthropy or one-off donations or infrastructure builds.
Modern miners need to take a proactive approach to social performance.
Social performance needs to be a consideration at all stages. In the same way, things like cost and technology are.
A lot of mining companies do not employ people with the right experience or provide them with enough resources to be able to work proactively.
Social performance is a bit part of the E and G aspects of ESG. In the podcast, Tricia demonstrates why that is the case.
People do not want to work for companies that do not have a positive impact.
To get your social performance right you need to work in a truly cross-disciplinary way. 
The industry needs to work more collaboratively to improve social performance. It costs less, is more effective, and improves the acceptance of mining as an industry.


BEST MOMENTS

‘Social performance is all about those ongoing activities that are happening with local communities and stakeholders. ´

‘When you don't do this right (social performance) it will cost you.’

‘Leadership commitment is really critical.’
