| Abstract |
Literature from the disciplines of epidemiology, public health, and social responsibility supports the notion that social determinants of health are plausible criteria to consider when integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) benchmarks into a firm's business strategy. CSR models have adapted over time to align with stakeholder concerns. Some are more progressive, already including criteria to hold corporations accountable, even in dynamic business circumstances, in addressing issues of sustainable development and environmental health. Future adaptations of CSR models explicitly should incorporate criteria that have the potential to constructively influence social determinants of health. This is especially important for the mining industry, in light of the transnational expansion of its operations, and diffusion into developing countries, where sustainable practices are essential to support occupational, environmental, and public health.
