What we do and why - Reflexivity 9 |
Contact experience Approval/ Fairness Trust acceptance Impacts
Resources in Society Global comparisons for sustainable development National insights and trusted datasets Operational Social Licence to Operate • Layered multi-scale data • Systematic understanding • Reflecting industry structure • Supporting relationships between stakeholders
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 13 |

Insights from the Terramin project 22 |
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 Community Survey design ‘Anchor’ Survey ‘Pulse’ Surveys workshops (Nov – Dec 2016) (Dec 2016 – Mar 2017) (Quarterly) (Oct 2016) Approved by CSIRO’s Social Science Human Research Ethics Committee (088/16) in accordance with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 23 |
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 project represented strong alignment with CSIRO strategic research priorities 24 |
Measures • Demographics, including near neighbour status • Community wellbeing and resilience • Knowledge (mining in general, the proposed mine and State 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 • Trust & acceptance 25 |
Community participation: Anchor to Pulse 4 (ALL) Invited Completed all 4 surveys 444 211 Responded For the purpose of this report, only data from those community members that 294 completed the anchor and all four pulse surveys are included Response Rate 66% 26 |
Demographics Gender Postcode 27 |
Knowledge of proposed mine 28 |
Participants who identify themselves as a ‘near neighbour’ The proportion of community members responding to the surveys that consider themselves ‘near neighbours’ has increased over time 12% 30% 25% 35% 39% 50% 38% 35% 36% 29 |

What’s next? 37 | Presentation title | Presenter name
What’s Next? • Terramin and Innovation Connections to fund CSIRO to continue surveying for another 12 months. • Invite existing participants to continue, but also open participation to new participants. • Revised rewards approach – community based rewards. • Great transparency and access to results via a project specific website hosted by CSIRO. 38 |
