Abstract

Mining companies have received considerable global criticism for their perceived poor social and environmental performance and failure to benefit communities in and around the areas in which they operate. Mining has been associated with negligence of the consequent impacts of its activities. However, evidence shows that the mining sector is increasingly implementing initiatives meant to address its social and environmental impacts. One of the ways in which mining companies attempt to address the social and environmental impacts of their activities is through corporate social investment (CSI). Using a diamond mining company in Botswana as a case study, this chapter argues that without a law mandating it, the effectiveness of CSI remains questionable. The involvement of the private sector in cultural heritage resource management (CHRM) in Botswana can lead to sustainable community development if it empowers communities to self-sustain and make efficient use of their heritage resources.
