Abstract

CSR communication

Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives as part of a company's core strategies and operations helps in establishing a long-term profit orientation instead of short-term profit maximisation. Furthermore, responding to key stakeholder preferences complements effective communication strategies and will translate into positive corporate reputation. As key stakeholders expect relevant and transparent CSR disclosure, proactive communication helps to significantly stabilise trust building which is essential for the longevity of a successful company-stakeholder relationship. In the mining industry, significant environmental degradation is a global problem. We suggest that a well-developed communication policy will help to improve the completeness, transparency, accuracy and credibility of voluntary, non-financial reporting.
