Abstract [sv]

I forskningsprojektet Skada skedd: Urfolkssamhällens erfarenheter av och rekommendationer för energiproduktion har vi undersökt hur energi- och annan utvinningsindustris verksamhet historiskt påverkat och fortsätter att påverka urfolk, samt vilka slags förändringar urfolk vill se i interaktioner med dessa industrier.

Samiska forskningsdeltagare rekommenderar att företag som på allvar utövar socialt ansvar genom att främja jämlik dialog och ömsesidig förståelse ska premieras. Bolagen behöver kommunicera sitt sociala ansvar, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) till samebyar eller samiska organisationer. De behöver också efterleva sin CSR-kommunikation så att det stämmer överens med deras faktiska handlingar i interaktioner med samiska organisationer, föreningar eller samebyar. Samer vill se ökad kunskap om samiskt samhälle, historia, kultur och samiska perspektiv hos bolag. Samer skulle också vilja se en samordnande organisation för bolags CSR i Sverige som även skulle kunna implementera och hantera CSR-certifiering.

I en internationell jämförelse undersökte vi erfarenheterna av utvinningsindustriers CSR hos  samer i Sverige och Adnyamathanha och Arabunna-folken i södra Australien. Trots stora skillnader mellan Sverige och södra Australien vad gäller rättigheter, näringar, politiska situationer och klimat, visar studien ändå stora likheter i hur utvinningsindustriers sociala ansvar kommuniceras och följs, och de aboriginska forskningsdeltagarna vittnar om hur fina ord inte efterlevs i praktiken.

 

Abstract [en]

In the research project Damage Done: Indigenous communities’ experiences of and recommendations for energy production, we have studied how the activities of the energy industry and other extractive industries have affected and continue to affect Indigenous peoples, and what changes Indigenous people themselves would like to see in interactions with these industries. 

Sámi research participants recommend that companies that encourage dialogue on equal terms and reciprocal understanding, thus showing strong social responsibility practices, should be rewarded. Companies need to communicate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to Sámi communities or Sámi organisations and comply with this in their interactions with Sámi representatives. Sámi people would like corporations to demonstrate greater knowledge of Sámi history, society, culture and worldviews and they would like to see an organisation tasked with coordinating CSR in Sweden, including implementing and administering a system for CSR certification. 

In an international comparison, we examined the experiences of CSR in extractive industries, held by representatives of the Adnyamathanha and Arabunna peoples of South Australia. Despite significant differences between Sweden and South Australia in terms of rights, livelihoods, the political situations and climates, the study shows great similarities in how extractive industries communicate about and comply with CSR.
