Ryerson University’s Institute for the Study of Corporate Social Responsibility is pleased to present a talk by Jeff Geipel, Venture Leader of the Mining Shared Value of Engineers Without Borders, and Kevin D’Souza, Vice President of Sustainability & Environment at Centerra Gold, on how mining companies’ local procurement policies can be developed to create meaningful benefits to the local communities where they operate. The talk is based on Jeff Geipel’s recent project with Centerra Gold to review its local procurement strategy at its wholly own subsidiary, Kumtor Gold Company, in Kyrgyzstan, as well as the organization’s work to promote local procurement across the entire mining industry. This event will take place on Thursday, October 9 from 12-1:30 pm, in TRS 3-109 (9th floor), in Ryerson University's Ted Rogers School of Management (55 Dundas Street West). The event is co-sponsored by the Ryerson CSR Student Association, the Ryerson Commerce and Government Association, the Ryerson MBA Mining Stream, and the Chang School Mining Management Certificate. There is no admission for this event, but seating is limited, and you must register in advance at http://ryerson-csr-institute-procurement-csr.eventbrite.ca
Creating and maintaining a social licence is one of the greatest challenges faced by mining companies today. In addition to being a more efficient and resilient form of procurement, supporting local suppliers is a key strategy for mining companies to strengthen their social license to operate. Local procurement can generate significant economic benefits at the local, regional and national level. As such, local procurement is an effective way for mining companies to respond to rising expectations amongst local communities and government officials of how mining activity should contribute to development in their country.
Centerra Gold has sought to proactively increasing local procurement at its wholly owned subsidiary, Kumtor Gold Company, in Kyrgyzstan. The operations at the Kumtor mine make for an ideal case study to show the Canadian mining industry that local procurement can be increased even in challenging jurisdictions.
