The case takes place in Peru in the wake of the worst mercury spill in history by a transport contractor for Newmont Mining Corporation. Newmont's senior vice president and chief administrative official is sent to Peru to measure the scenario. The successive audit exposed that Newmont's mining process in Peru met neither U.S. nor Peruvian mining principles.
"There were water problems, there were air problems, there were road concerns, there were health concerns - all originating from mining operation," the report declared in the end. The examination also established that Newmont executives could be topic to "criminal action and incarceration" for the business measures in Peru. More to the point, the company had broken its "social license" with local communities, putting in jeopardy its capability to conduct business in that state.
