Episode 15: "Mining and Community Engagement — with Carolina Lobato"

In this episode, CSB Director CB Bhattacharya is joined from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil by Carolina Lobato, Vice President of Legal at Kinross Brasil Mineração, a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, a senior gold mining company with a diverse portfolio of mines and projects in the United States, Brazil, Chile, Ghana, Mauritania, and Russia. Ms. Lobato discusses mining as an essential industry, engaging with local communities, and the value the UN Sustainable Development Goals offer to international companies: “If we just keep doing whatever we did 5 years ago, we will not be operating 5 years from now. It’s time to rethink, redesign, and reposition our companies in a more responsible way, thinking about the future.” Sign up to receive weekly episodes right to your inbox: bit.ly/csbpodcastemail Submit your "Sustaining Sustainability" feedback and/or questions: bit.ly/csbpodcastfeedback This episode was researched, recorded, edited, and produced by Prof. CB Bhattacharya, Dr. Leslie Marshall, and Alyssa Martinec of the University of Pittsburgh Center for Sustainable Business. www.sustainablebusiness.pitt.edu Music: "Lively" by Dee Yan-Key From the Free Music Archive CC BY NC SA creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode
