Shared Value
Extractive Industry Perspective
Mining for Development Conference April 2015
Venue: University Club of Western Australia - Day 2

| Met these women participants rom Nigeria and Ghana. |
The opportunity to attend the Mining for Development Conference was generated from an invite from Professor Paul Flatau, Centre for Social Impact Alumni at UWA who was hosting the event. As a CSI member I was keen to attend because we had spent a number of decades in the Pilbara Region employed in the mining industry. Over this time I had observed first hand how mining has evolved in terms of the industry realizing the benefits of such an approach.
What was exciting was on Day 2 of the conference was primarily made up of four panel forums each with a Facilitator and four Panel Members presenting case like studies from an International perspectives.
The main take away from this conference for me was the interpretation of 'Shared Value' including Joanne Farrell (Keynote Speaker), Global Head of Health, Safety, Security Environment realizing benefits'. This focus was replicated throughout the day as panelist's shared their international endeavours at a political/community/industry perspective on Shared Value and the examples they put forward under this umbrella.

Also sourced from a range of presentation is the following content which I viewed as useful to apply in other sector contexts connected to: Local, Regional, National and International establishment and applications of projects or service delivery.
"Some Engagement Essentials:
- Decision Chain - eg. Natural Resource Charter
- Scale - Project sector framework & policy, international standards
- Actors - Network of influencers' and decision makers, selectivity
- Time - Short & long term, early, opportunistic or demand based
- Space - formal, informal, mandatory and voluntary
- Data- intellectual rigour, analytics, evidence based propositions
- Message - messaging and innovation
- Independence - integrity and presence on the ground
- Structural - end game, organisation accountability
- Staying Power. (Sourced from presentation on the 2nd day of the Conference)."
Trust aspects of this sharing has been useful.
