Deloitte warn finding value beyond compliance is no easy task . It requires miners to listen more closely to their constituents to determine what stakeholders truly want , and then shift their operational processes in response . Andrew Lane , Mining & Metals Leader , Deloitte Africa , urges : “ By taking the time to understand local community concerns and social objectives , mining companies have a unique opportunity to devise uncommon solutions to intransigent problems . This positions them to form true collaborative partnerships , change negative perceptions about the industry , avert social conflict , and play a more proactive role in helping local governments deliver on their developmental outcomes .”
