Minera La Zanja is a subsidiary Peruvian enterprise of Buenaventura Mines Company, it produces gold using open pit operation. This consulting plan has been developed with the objective of proposing an action plan to manage social risk that can cause an operation stoppage the closing phase. This study started with an analysis of the company’s current situation and then a presentation about the view, mission and principles. The main strategic objectives of the company were identified and with this information an action plan was worked out. Then an external analysis has been done to determine the influence of environment where the enterprise operates. It was possible to identify opportunities that would be beneficial, such as: new regulations to encourage mineral exploration, mining capacity, policies for opening up to social dialogue through citizen participation and prior consultation, among others; as well as threats to avoid such as: conflicts and social problems, and variation in international demand and/or mineral oversupply. Next, an internal analysis has been done, which is oriented to capitalize its strengths (corporate culture, experienced and highly qualified personnel, and positive financial indicators) and neutralize its weaknesses (financial risk in metal prices variations, a decrease in exploitable resources and reserves and internal union conflicts), which will build competitive advantages. After that, a business plan was written which made it possible to find the root cause and identify its triggers. With a response plan, solution strategies were outlined. The potential solutions seek to minimize the impact of the triggers, for example, virtual training for workers’ labor reinsertion in Alliance with local councils to create a job holding pool; training for business technology management to benefit the community development; providing capital investment to the community enterprise by transferring assets complying with the due human rights diligence and implementing a comprehensive Project to improve the communication between the mining Company and the communities around. Next, a plan was written to implement the possible solutions. In this plan the current situation, a description of the solution, an expected future scenario, costs and time needed to implement the solution are analyzed. The results obtained by this study allowed us to validate that there is a latent need in the implementation of training and cooperation programs that help combat the four main risk triggers that we have identified for the MLZ closure process: the decrease in the labor force, insufficient social responsibility and shared value programs, illegal and informal mining and insufficient state management.
