Consulting with Stakeholders

Resolution Copper Mining views stakeholders as those individuals who are affected by or can affect company operations.

Our project stakeholders include:

• Resolution Copper Mining employees and their families
• Contractors
• Suppliers
• Local, state and county governments, elected and appointed officials
• Regulatory and non-regulatory agencies
• Interest groups
• Non-government organizations
• Elementary, secondary and post-graduate learning institutions
• Members of the media
• Rio Tinto and BHP shareholders

At Resolution Copper Mining, interacting with stakeholders is a priority. We listen to and solicit input from key stakeholder groups in a variety of ways, including community forums, community advisory committees, external and internal communications, and one-on-one interactions in both formal and informal settings. Feedback and knowledge gained are then factored into our business planning and communications approach.

Our efforts to identify and cultivate relationships with Resolution Copper stakeholders began nearly six years ago through formal surveys, polls and baseline assessments–methods we still use today to verify stakeholder groups, determine how they view our company and identify their concerns. Our stakeholder engagement programs are well-resourced and involve employees at all levels of the organization. We work hard to strike a balance between business and stakeholder priorities. When stakeholder feedback is negative, we listen to comments and suggestions and do our best to respond to concerns. By communicating with stakeholders, we have been able to dispel misinformation and share our desire to work toward common solutions to environmental, economic and social issues.
