Abstract | Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the mining sector in the DRC is a crucial subject, given the country's abundance of natural resources and the resulting socio-economic challenges. CSR in this context refers to the commitment of mining companies to operate ethically and sustainably, taking into account the impact of their activities on local communities and the environment. One of the main challenges of CSR in the DRC is the equitable sharing of national resources. Companies must not only respect internal and international regulations, but also contribute to the socio-economic development of the regions where they operate. This includes job creation, support for local infrastructure, education, health, etc. However, effective implementation of CSR is often hampered by governance issues, corruption, and lack of transparency. Local communities often express concerns that the economic benefits derived from mining do not sufficiently benefit the population. For CSR to be truly effective, it is essential to establish a constructive dialogue between business, government and local communities. This may involve benefit sharing initiatives, community development projects and better resource management to ensure that mineral wealth contributes to sustainable and inclusive development for all Congolese. Beyond that, we also need binding measures against mining companies that do not fulfill their obligations within the framework of CSR. These measures also include the mechanisms of appeals. |
