Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining

The Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM) is a leading research centre committed to improving the social performance of the global resource industry.

CSRM focuses on the social, cultural, economic and political challenges that occur when change is brought about by mineral resource extraction.

The Centre contributes to industry change through independent social science research, teaching, and by convening and participating in multi-stakeholder dialogue processes.

CSRM has multi-disciplinary research projects about communities, governance, agreements, development, cultural heritage, resettlement, artisanal and small-scale mining, human rights, Indigenous Peoples, mine closure, conflict, and gender.

CSRM knowledge hubs include:
