Community Relations
The issue of social conflicts related to the mining sector is nothing new. Indeed, there are many disputes that people in Lima never hear of, unless violence and clashes erupt. According to Peru's Ombudsman Office, in March 2016 there were 208 conflicts in the country. Of these, 146 had to do with socio-environmental issues, and within this group, mining-related disputes accounted for 93 of them. Among the factors explaining these conflicts people may find past environmental mistakes by the industry, low profile communication policies, hidden political agendas by anti-mining activists, the absence of State representatives in rural areas, and the incompetence or even corruption of authorities to invest the tax money in sustainable projects. Beyond compliance with environmental and social regulations, the opportunities to improve local living standards are multifold, and go from healthcare and education, all the way to improving pastures and helping local businesses. All this, however, should be done in coordination with authorities at all levels.
