PERUMIN HUB MINING INNOVATION IN PERU
CHALLENGESSHARED VALUE
The mining sector is committed to improving its levels of competitiveness through increasingly efficient, sustainable, and respectful operations in the territories where they operate. Likewise, mining companies recognize that this improvement requires the active participation and incorporation of all actors involved in the value chain, including the surrounding communities.
In this sense, the development and well-being of the actors involved in the mining value chain have an impact on the development and competitiveness of the sector. To achieve this, elements and strategies are required that generate favorable conditions and capacities, thus achieving a virtuous circle.
How to generate value sharing through the use of data and evidence between mining companies and stakeholders?
The generation of accurate information is one of the pillars for proper evidence-based decision-making, making it possible to develop alternatives to traditional solutions and/or visualize the results achieved. Therefore, this decision-making process involves the development of solutions focused on: (1) Implementing initiatives that generate value sharing; and (2) Visualizing results for proper decision-making in the future.
Elements of value
Incorporation of real-time information collection practices.
Communicational solutions and/or strategies or others that share the collected results to be disseminated within and outside the mining company.
Innovations in the field of communication or others that stimulate close and permanent interaction between stakeholders and the mining company.
Solutions that allow for the permanent reaffirmation and feeding of trust between stakeholders (local suppliers, community, state) and the mining company.
Innovations that facilitate the involvement of stakeholders (communal companies/local actors) in land use planning as well as in the generation of business models.
Innovations that contribute to the clarity and understanding of the roles of actors (government and company). The attribute of data transparency to facilitate decision-making is valued.
Solutions that promote greater learning and interest about the mining sector.
How to generate shared value through active stakeholder participation in territorial development?
There is a consensus among mining companies, communities, and state actors in the search for territorial development and well-being of communities. To achieve this, mechanisms are sought that allow for solid relationships of trust and transparency to share needs and expectations among the involved actors.
Elements of value
Innovations that contribute to the generation of consensus in areas of potential and improvement for territorial development.
Solutions that help identify economic-productive potential in the territory for implementation (tourism, agribusiness, among others).
Models that bring the community and the company closer to the development of new businesses, beyond the traditional ones. Consider current and future capacities in local actors.
Innovations that contribute to managing expectations with communities and commitments assumed between actors.
Sustainable solutions (environmental and social) that allow for better coexistence in the territory.
Strategies and/or technologies that promote the well-being of actors and the shared use of facilities; through improvements in road communication and the use of energy, among others.
Innovations that contribute to the progressive incorporation of women in the mining value chain.
Nature-based solutions, as well as the revaluation of ancestral solutions to be incorporated into joint territorial development plans.
Opportunity to adopt experiences from other countries considering the ecosystem's own context.
How to incorporate models that generate shared value in mine closure?
Mining operations, upon completion, must restore the environment almost as it was before. The recovery of vegetation and/or geochemical stabilization in tailings deposit areas is slow, and there is a high dependence on communities around the mine for closure success. In addition to the environmental and area recovery focus, today it is unthinkable not to include adding value to the community in the closure strategy. Prior to the removal of facilities, it is verified whether the community will need any of them. One must think of the best uses for these facilities to generate new activities. It is no longer possible to think of closure at the end of the operation's life cycle, but rather closure plans must be associated with the mine's life (LOM - life of mine) and be progressive so that the data generation instruments implemented can project the influence of mine closure on the environment and consider the long term.
Elements of value
Community involvement (communal companies/local actors) in land use planning, as well as in the generation of competitive business models and economic activity development. The approach of providing post-closure/sustainable closure/social closure value to communities is valued.
Solutions that consider the visual impact.
Solutions for temporary/progressive/final/post-closure.
Solutions that consider the impacts that closed mines are having.
Opportunity to adopt experiences from other countries considering the ecosystem's own context (climate: abundant rain, paramos, etc.).
Water digitization: information technologies that put open data in value in a transparent way with a focus on generating trust.
Nature-based solutions, as well as the revaluation of ancestral solutions such as wetlands, among others.
Solutions that consider the possibility of carbon compensation in closure components and opportunities for carbon absorption in closure components.
Solutions that allow defining and delimiting parameters with authorities that certify successful closure.
Innovative post-closure solutions regarding land transfer, return with the same or higher economic value. Different aspects such as areas, stability, risks, limitations, among others, must be considered.
Solutions that consider the safety of tailings dams according to current standards.
Opportunities for the use of land/surface for energy generation (photovoltaic, wind turbines, others).
