Mining company Sibanye-Stillwater says that viewing social and labour plans as the driver for community development is too narrow an approach. Rather, the driver should be enduring social impact.
The company has 15 SLPs in place, nine of which apply to its various platinum group metal operations in South Africa’s North West province and eight which apply to its gold operations in Gauteng, Free State and Mpumalanga. The company reports that R472-million has been spent on corporate social investment over the past ten years, made up of R294-million from gold starting in 2013, compared to PGMs, which saw R178-million CSI spend starting from 2017.
Over the same four years, the gold sector also favoured education, investing R106.9-million out of a total social economic development spend of R248-million.
