Requirement

The UoC shall, where possible, source goods and services, including employment, from Indigenous and tribal peoples and local communities.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Ensuring that the community benefits economically from the UoC can:

    • improve wellbeing

    • foster positive relationships between the UoC and the communities.

  • The UoC can develop partnerships and agreements that ensure that nearby communities benefit economically from site operations. This may include:

    • job opportunities

  • sourcing goods from the community, for example:

    • food for the canteen

    • machinery needed for running the site

    • feed.

  • sourcing services from the community, for example:

    • cleaning company

    • diving company

    • security guard provider.

    • revenue-sharing

  • infrastructure development, for example:

    • the improvement of roads

    • connections to other services for the community, such as internet access.

  • Actions that the site can take include:

    • local posting of jobs and active recruitment in neighbouring communities,

    • partnerships with local businesses for the delivery of goods and/or services, such as catering.

Evidence of Implementation

  • sourcing policy

  • recruitment processes and advertisements for jobseekers

  • employee records

  • agreements with local businesses.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • how jobs are advertised and goods are sourced;

  • the degree of locally recruited employees and locally sourced goods and services;

  • the reasoning for recruiting employees or sourcing goods and services from elsewhere.
