Social License in Peru
Business News Americas, April 2010, Pages: 16
Peru is a country with mineral wealth to rival any other territory. The Andes mountain range runs from northern to southern border, providing the deposits that have led the nation to rank number 1 globally in silver production, second in copper and zinc and sixth in gold. Mining is not a new activity in Peru, but it has changed significantly in recent years in terms of tax regulation, environmental controls and investment girth. The different national governments in power over the last 20 years have maintained policies to encourage business and foreign direct investment. As in many other countries, mining has fattened Peru’s export revenues and GDP and brought economic activity and infrastructure to some of the poorest, most isolated areas.
Sounds perfect, but social unrest presents a challenge for miners in the country. Some companies have proven capable of maintaining excellent relationships with communities, while others have had a harder time for a host of reasons. This report explores the elements perplexing the social license process in Peru today and the road ahead for overcoming them.
