The challenge
Protecting communities and reputation
Conflict with communities can cause reputational damage, production loss, project delays or even the complete abandonment of resources and infrastructure projects. The resulting costs and value destruction for industry can be billions of dollars.
Our response
Improving governance, increasing economic and environmental benefits and enhancing the resilience of communities in the face of change.
