Integrating Deep Ecology into Corporate Environmental Responsibility: A Sustainable Model for the Mining Sector

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of Environmental Corporate Responsibility (ECR) through the Corporate Social Responsiveness (CSRv) Model in the mining industry by incorporating the Deep Ecology Concept to achieve justice in sustainable development. The research adopts a normative juridical method, employing legal, conceptual, comparative, and case study approaches, along with an analysis of legal issues related to applicable environmental regulations and policies. The findings indicate that the application of ECR through the CSRv Model is crucial for companies to effectively address social and environmental demands. This approach involves the use of appropriate mechanisms and the active participation of communities in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of ECR initiatives, ensuring they align with the company’s goals and strategies. The ECR model, as CSRv, illustrates the potential for companies to manage their social and environmental responsibilities sustainably. In the mining sector, CSRv provides a comprehensive solution for sustainable development by focusing on the responsible management and protection of natural resources. By incorporating Deep Ecology values into CSRv practices, mining companies can contribute to both human well-being and environmental sustainability, measured through the effectiveness, appropriateness, sustainability, empowerment, and participation rates of ECR programs. This holistic approach guarantees that mining activities are conducted responsibly and sustainably.
