Gestion de la valeur dans le secteur minier : une vision pluridimensionnelle de la création de valeur par le secteur minier

The World Economic Forum's report presents the Mining Value Management (GVM) tool, which moves beyond financial metrics to evaluate mining's impact across seven dimensions: fiscal/legal, employment, environment, social cohesion, local supply chains, downstream activities, and infrastructure. Based on a survey of 300 stakeholders across 37 countries, the report finds significant divergences in priorities between governments, mining companies, and local communities. It argues that conflicts often stem from mutual misunderstanding and unrealistic expectations, proposing that structured, multilateral dialogue and a focus on 'mutual value'—such as shared-use infrastructure—can mitigate tensions and promote sustainable development.

• The Mining Value Management (GVM) tool adopts a systemic approach to value, incorporating seven distinct dimensions: fiscal and legal/regulatory environment, employment and skills, environment and biodiversity, social cohesion and socio-economic/cultural implications, local public markets and supply chains, downstream activities and enrichment, and infrastructure.
• Stakeholders across all regions and groups consistently identify the fiscal, legal, and regulatory environment as their top priority, driven by concerns over tax regimes, ownership structures, and transparency regarding mining revenues.
• There is a significant gap in perceptions between different stakeholder groups; for example, African governments generally view current value creation less positively than other stakeholders but hold higher aspirations for the future.
• Priorities for value creation vary based on a country's economic development stage. 'Factor-driven' economies place a higher priority on infrastructure (ranked second) compared to 'innovation-driven' economies, where employment is the second priority.
• Mining companies are increasingly recognizing that 'social license' depends on understanding the complex social and cultural fabric of local communities, requiring skills in anthropology and sociology rather than just technical expertise.
• Opportunities for mutual value creation exist in infrastructure, employment, and supply chains, provided there is high coordination between government levels and private actors. An example is the Maputo Development Corridor, which linked South African production to Mozambique's port of Maputo.
• The report identifies four main obstacles to mutual understanding of value: a focus on easily quantifiable dimensions (like taxes), a mismatch between expectations and the reality of project timelines, poor consultation of local communities, and the perception of value as a zero-sum game.
• Downstream activities (processing and refining) are often prioritized by governments for their diversification potential, but are frequently viewed as low priority by mining producers due to structural profitability constraints.
