What we do and why - Reflexivity

Contact experience Fairness Impacts Trust Approval/ acceptance

Resources in Society

Operational Social Licence to Operate National insights and trusted datasets

• Layered multi-scale data

Global comparisons for sustainable development

• Supporting relationships between stakeholders
• Reflecting industry structure
• Systematic understanding

The problem

• Companies have complex and important

relationships with their communities

• Companies do not have a systematic way of

understanding these relationships

• Communities do not have constructive ways to

influence development

12 |

• Reflexivity is a social performance data provision service
• We deliver real-time community insights in a language

companies can use to inform their practice

• By tracking key drivers of social acceptance, we help

companies identify community issues before they become conflicts

• We give communities a constructive way to be heard

Background to the project

To understand the current attitudes regarding concerns about, and benefits of, a proposed underground gold mine development in the Adelaide Hills, to support an engagement strategy by the mine that speak to these concerns and aspirations

Approved by CSIRO’s Social Science Human Research Ethics Committee (088/16) in accordance with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research

Survey design

(Nov – Dec 2016)

Funding

• 40% Terramin Australia Limited
• 40% Innovation Connections, an initiative of the Department of

Industry, Innovation and Science to assist SMEs access knowledge, engage with researchers and innovate

• CSIRO contributed 20% of the associated costs as elements of this

government regulations related to mining)

• Potential impacts and benefits of the proposed mine
• Sources of information about the proposed mine
• Quantity & quality of contact with Terramin
• Procedural & distributional fairness
