The introduction of the Human Wealth Creation Index (HWCI) for mining, industrial, and investment corporations and communities on a pilot basis follows a structured, project-type selection process. It begins with identifying investments that are planned, in progress, or already executed, aligning with the HWCI’s core pillars. A pilot project approach allows for a focused implementation, demonstrating the HWCI’s potential to enhance transparency, accountability, and long-term value within community relationships.
APPROACH FOR STAKEHOLDERS
To implement a pilot or full-scale project for the Human Wealth Creation Index (HWCI) at a mining, industrial and investment corporation or for a community organisation, some of the key methodologies that will be applied are:
- Data Collection and Management: Gather impact data through traceable surveys, direct feedback, and visual content. Ensure data is comprehensive, covering metrics relevant to local stakeholders such as beneficiaries, community members, suppliers, and employees.
- Stakeholder Engagement and Communication: Establish two-way communication channels with all stakeholder groups—including beneficiaries, students, employees, and community members—to promote transparency and facilitate continuous feedback loops. This engagement builds trust and accountability.
- On-site video production of a community or corporate short film consisting of 3 phases:
- Pre-Production Phase: Define video purpose, create shoot schedule, confirm logistics, and develop shot list and storyboard.
- Production Phase: Conduct on-location or in-studio shoots, capture interviews and B-roll footage, and manage equipment and lighting.
- Post-Production Phase: Ingest footage, review and select interviews and B-roll, edit and assemble the video, and perform final edits based on client feedback.
- Tracking: Use the Index to measure contributions beyond standard ESG/CSR metrics, focusing on sustainable wealth creation and social impact. Track the direct and indirect economic benefits to communities, emphasising improvements and development.
- Feedback-Driven Improvement: Leverage the feedback collected from all stakeholders to refine processes and address concerns in real time. This enables initiative-taking risk management and continuous performance improvement over the long term.
- Transparency and Visual Reporting: Present data and impact visually to enhance understanding and accessibility for all stakeholders. Visual reports provide a clear, transparent view of progress, sustainability efforts, and wealth creation.
- Post-Funding Accountability: Monitor outcomes and maintain communication channels beyond the initial funding stage to ensure ongoing support, risk mitigation, and alignment with community and corporate goals.
