Level of Effort
1
Determining Scale
1 -Quick Wins: solution involves adding criteria for the good or service being purchased (ex: certifications), minimal internal process changes.
2 -Long Term Adoption: solution requires some changes to internal processes and/or more capital investment (ex: digital transformation to reduce paper use).
3 – Disruptive Opportunities: requires significant investment and changes to internal processes (ex: retrofitting building)

Project Blueprint Steps
Our category blueprints are designed to break down each step in the six-stage procurement process, empowering users to manage and execute sustainable projects seamlessly.
Assessment
•Assess the current gaps in environmental and social impacts of your operations and reporting frameworks that allow your organization to demonstrate adherence to the provisions of sustainability frameworks.
•Leverage the Mining Local Procurement Reporting Mechanism (LPRM) to understand gaps in local supply development and highlight areas and opportunities for further development
Opportunity Identification
Business: Mining companies can create business value by increasing the amount of information available on their local procurement efforts – both by demonstrating the value they are creating for host economies, and by showing evidence that they have systems in place to prevent allegations of wrong-doing involving suppliers
Sustainability: Improving transparency by taking Anti-Corruption Measures, promoting ethical business practices for labour laws, and encouraging larger companies to support/engage in enhancing economic opportunities for local suppliers/vendors.
Strategy Build & Execution
• Get acquainted with the LPRM resources, as they contain a series of disclosures to guide your mining company’s reporting on your local procurement policies, processes, and results.
• Identify gaps in information/resources your organization may not have available to report
• Align key stakeholders with the importance of LRPM reporting
• Create policies and requirements for yearly LRPM reporting
Supplier Negotiation
& Contract
•Roll-out procurement standards or minimum anti-corruption policies to high-risk suppliers
•Consider working with local suppliers or negotiating local community investment percentages to build the local economy capacity
•Work with legal to contract where relevant and possible regular reviews of standards and practices
Supplier Performance
& Management
• Maintain records for compliance, bribery and anti-corruption policies/occurrences. Track the progress and areas of improvement in implementing the LRPM policy.
• Benchmarking: Are strategies improving on local procurement and are they in line with global best practices to implement supplier due diligence systems that help prevent problematic practices and corruption risks?
• Perform annual reviews with internal stakeholders after implementing the policy to discuss benefits and challenges.
•Evaluate the commercial impact of the new LRPM policy with investors and stakeholders.
