full report: The Limitations of Corporate Social Responsibility on Zambia’s Copperbelt - Konkola Copper Mines (KCM): Environmental Management Plan (May 2001)

People living on Zambia’s Copperbelt are confronted with a barrage of toxic chemicals and other pollutants all of which undermines their right to health and damages their livelihoods.
