Social & Labour Commitment
SLP Compliance
NEG provides end-to-end support to ensure full compliance with South Africa’s Social and Labour Plan (SLP) requirements in terms of the MPRDA and Mining Charter. Our services include the development, review, alignment, and amendment of SLPs to meet regulatory expectations and project realities. We assist clients in addressing commitments related to local economic development, human resource development, housing and living conditions, and employment equity—ensuring that SLPs are practical, defensible, auditable, and most importantly, make a positive impact in the community in which you operate.
Community Engagement
Effective community engagement is central to sustainable mining operations. We support our clients in establishing transparent, inclusive, and structured engagement processes with host communities, traditional authorities, municipalities, and other stakeholders. Our approach focuses on managing expectations, reducing conflict risk, and building long-term social licence to operate through meaningful consultation, grievance mechanisms, and documented engagement aligned with SLP and regulatory requirements.
SLP Project Monitoring and Reporting
NEG offers structured monitoring and reporting solutions to track SLP commitments, project implementation, and expenditure against approved plans. Our services include performance tracking, evidence file management, compliance audits, and preparation of annual and ad hoc reports for submission to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE). By ensuring accurate record-keeping and timely reporting, we help clients demonstrate compliance, mitigate enforcement risk, and maintain their social licence to operate within the comunity.
