Abstract:

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) embarked on a project to identify examples of Filipino mining companies that are striving to conduct their traditional business activities in a socially responsible manner. MGB has identified three major mining companies operating in the Philippines whose approaches to corporate social responsibility are examined in this case study: Philex Mining Corporation, Silangan Mindanao Exploration Company, Inc., and APO Cement Corporation.

The succeeding case studies highlight the CSR practices of these mining firm s in seeking to ensure that the organization achieves a fit with its environment and optimizes its resources to achieve competitive advantage. It begins by identifying company policy towards corporate social responsibility. Then it identifies the key elements of this policy broken down into economic, social, environment, and governance aspects. This is followed by highlighting existing company “best practice” in CSR, the approach it has taken to achieve its objectives, and the impacts of those practices both to the company and the community. The final section examines the focus of company’s future CSR efforts.
