iSAPP
Integrated Social Application

Social Responsibility is a core component of any mining company operating in the 21st century.

 

The challenge of most mining companies is to collate and integrate the many components that encompass the effective management of their social responsibility. It’s not a matter of not knowing what and how to manage this responsibility, but rather to have the ability to “finetune” efforts to maximise efficacy for all stakeholders.

 

Companies know the what and the how.
