MS.01 Local Employment
Public disclosure of disaggregated workforce data allows companies to demonstrate their commitment to investing in the economic development of local communities and ensuring that their recruitment and workplace practices do not disadvantage women. As contract workers are increasingly being used across the mining industry, it is important for companies to distinguish them in their workforce data, to provide a more complete picture of the employment situation.

MS.02 Local Procurement
Sourcing goods and services locally supports business development and economic growth in the local region, while potentially reducing procurement costs in the long term. Public disclosure and discussion of local procurement data enable local businesses to identify opportunities to become suppliers to the mine site, and local communities to engage with the company on its efforts to create a level playing field for local suppliers.

MS.03 Post-Closure Plans
Planning for a positive legacy necessitates measures to ensure that project-affected communities have viable and sustainable livelihoods after mine closure. This includes plans to maintain or re-establish access to healthy natural resources (land, water, etc.) and economic opportunities. An effective mine closure planning process involves open communication with affected communities and involvement of these communities in the setting of closure goals and the development of action plans.

MS.04 Community Grievances
Community grievance mechanisms are formal processes that enable individuals or groups from project affected communities to raise concerns and seek remedy for any negative impacts from a company’s activities. This allows the company to know about and respond to these in a timely manner. Community members are more likely to trust and use such mechanisms if the company discloses how the mechanism is being used, and how the company is addressing issues that have been raised repeatedly.

MS.05 Worker Grievances
An effective grievance mechanism for workers provides a fair hearing and remedy process, so that workers can be satisfied that their complaints have been heard and taken seriously, leading to more constructive working relationships. A mining company can promote confidence in the grievance process by disclosing how the grievance mechanism is being used and how the company is addressing issues that have been raised repeatedly.

MS.06 Air Quality
For many project-affected communities, air pollution is a major concern related to the presence of a mining operation, as it affects their health, their food systems, and in some cases their livelihoods. Regular disclosure of site-specific air quality data and discussions with communities about the company’s management of air quality can demonstrate good citizenship and help to build trust and reduce fears related to dust and air contaminants.

MS.07 Water Quality
While it is now standard practice for mining companies to report generally on water quality, companies can make this information much more useful for affected communities by regularly disclosing water quality data at each point where they collect such data. Companies can also demonstrate good citizenship and help to build trust by specifying when and where water quality dropped below established limits, and by discussing with affected communities the efforts they are taking to manage water quality.

MS.08 Water Quantity
The competition for water resources is a common source of conflict between mining companies and affected communities, particularly in water-stressed areas. Companies can demonstrate good citizenship and respect for affected communities by disclosing the amount of water they are withdrawing and by discussing with affected communities how their water consumption levels respect the water needs of these local stakeholders, and how they are seeking to reduce their water consumption.

MS.09 Tailings Management
Tailings storage facilities pose potentially severe risks to workers, affected communities and the environment. Unstable tailings dams can fail catastrophically, releasing large quantities of waste that can cause fatalities, smother rivers, bury homes, destroy livelihoods, and seriously impact the environment and local communities. Companies can demonstrate that they take this issue seriously by disclosing practical information on their tailings facilities and by keeping local communities informed about emergency procedures in the event of a tailings-related incident.

MS.10 Emergency Preparedness
While mining-related emergencies can never be entirely prevented, companies can minimise the negative consequences of such emergencies by developing crisis management and emergency preparedness plans. The planned procedures will be more effective if project-affected stakeholders (e.g. community members, local authorities and emergency responders) are informed about the actions to take in the event of an emergency and are involved in the testing of the procedures.
