TAILOR YOUR CONFERENCE EXPERIENCE Tracks focused on domestic and emerging markets operations

Extractives operations are growing – and there’s no margin for error…

We all know that in oil, gas and mining, good social performance has massive

business benefits. The creation of shared value will increase access to land and

resources, enhanced employee engagement generate and active support for

operations from the community.

We also know that failure to get it just right has costs in terms of delays in

production, closure of operations, damaged reputations and legal & HR fees.

Globally and nationally there is a shift from voluntary guidelines to mandatory

regulations making the need for good practice in CSR more important than ever,

both as a risk management function and to increase access to land and resources.

Furthermore oil, gas and mining operations take place where the resources are

located, and different political, social, cultural and economic situations provide

unique challenges.

Additionally, the widening use of technology and social media mean that the social

performance of operations internationally and at home are even more visible and

therefore pose a heightened reputational risk.

Put simply, social performance is no longer an “outside of the fence” activity.

It is the responsibility of everyone involved in both corporate and operational

functions.

So how can you embed social responsibility into the culture of

the business?

At a time of low commodity prices, identifying and avoiding costs from delays and

closures to operations are crucial to the business. Creating shared value with real

ROI for the business also ensures better resource access and opportunities for

your business.

That’s why the Responsible Extractives Summit North America has been created,

by the industry for the industry. On April 30 – May 1 in Houston, the industry will

come together, in a unique opportunity to share experience in both domestic and

emerging markets. CSR executives from oil, gas and mining companies from

the USA and Canada will come away from this ground-breaking meeting with

invaluable lessons taken from top extractives companies around the globe:

Over two packed days of networking, presentations, panel discussions and

interactive workshops on April 30 – May 1 in Houston, you will come away with

a blueprint for how to deepen your engagement with communities, build up

competencies in your operational staff, manage your reputation and prevent

impacts on communities to mitigate nontechnical risk.

Plus, the Responsible Extractives Summit North America will have a focus on

both domestic operations and emerging markets. With two targeted tracks, you

can bring your team and tailor your conference experience, ensuring that you’ll

be able to implement your social responsibility strategy into the inner workings of

your domestic or emerging market operations. Social responsibility experts from

leading companies around the world will share examples of practical solutions to

the challenges that the industry faces and equip you with tools that will help you

embed social responsibility into your business culture.

Whether you want to embed social responsibility into your business operations at

home or abroad, you can’t afford to miss this summit. Don’t delay, join RioTinto,

Shell and The UN and many more, reserve your place now!
