Políticas de responsabilidad social empresarial de las empresas mineras en la región soto norte Santander bajo los lineamientos GRI

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility is aimed at creating a culture in which the Company as a mechanism for development of a Society is sustainable through responsible practices, to the extent that they develop corrective measures if their activities risk the integrity of Stakeholders or affect their social, economic and environmental aspects. In recent years have begun in Colombia, actions to establish compulsory implementation of CSR, that is, with the draft Law 70 of 2010, which rules on Corporate Social Responsibility, however, in the mining sector, these practices are facing serious problems due to lack of laws, informal mining, among others. Given this situation, private Companies have been developing strategies to implement CSR measures in organizations, however, these initiatives are not enough and therefore do not cover fully the needs of different stakeholders, nevertheless, these companies must perform work of social investment and environmental restoration to obtain a license and thus continue its operation. Therefore, mining companies implement social programs such as environmental education, entrepreneurship and employability, culture, recreation and sport and social infrastructure, and environmental investments as compensation for environmental damages generated, reseeding, spreading trees and organic fertilizers platforms for recovery; all these programs, carefully defined by the professionals responsible in the Companies, must be met to ensure the continuity of its corporate purpose.
