10What are the risks?
- The obvious business risks are the direct and
indirect negative impacts, and these are assessed
through a variety of environmental and social
assessment methods - However, there are more and wider strategic
business risks including - Lower resource availability
- Significantly growing social expectations of
behaviour of companies - Changing legislation
- Changing technical standards
- But there are also positives
- Growing social understanding of different agendas
- Huge potential alternative revenue flows for
resource reuse, recycling - Advancing technical solutions lower costs

reference in the Equator Principles) - OECD Guidelines

- IFC/World Bank EHS Guidelines and Sectoral
Guidance - Sector Standards, Guidance and Input ICMM,

references - Geographical
- sectoral (e.g. mining, oil and gas, forestry)

protocols (e.g. Anglo American Socio-Economic

12Conclusions
- Governments, regulators, the media, NGOs,
lenders, investors and societyhave increasing
expectations about how corporations manage
environmental, health, safety and social
issuesGlobalisation of societys expectations - Environmentally and socially responsible
behaviour is not a nice to have it reduces
costs and helps companies to stay in
businessIts about the money, not hugging
trees - Work for a better tomorrow if we get hung up on
yesterdays performance or behaviour we will get
nowhereDont let the perfect become the enemy
of the good
