Assessing the development impact of resource sector companies on their host countries
This discussion paper, ‘Assessing the development impact of resource sector companies on their host countries,’ was prepared by The Foundation for Development Coordination in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers as a basis for discussion with the resource industry. It explores the development dividend produced by resource sector companies, reviews the guidelines and assessment tools that are used by the industry to evaluate the social, environmental, financial/economic and governance/political impacts, and aims to stimulate discussion in relation to the role, influence and impact of resource sector companies on the countries where they operate.
