In 2011, the Asian Institute of Management developed teaching material on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the mining sector. The material, prepared by the Institute's Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr. Center for Corporate Social Responsibility (AIM-RVR Center), highlighted best CSR practices and relevant regulations and guidelines in the mining sector in Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies. This APEC-funded project is geared towards implementing sustainable development initiatives in the mining sector.
