The Beyond Zero Harm Framework (BZH) is a participatory process for discussing, defining, measuring and analyzing community well-being. The framework was jointly developed by participants of the Devonshire Initiative, including mining companies, civil society organizations and academics, and is designed to address gaps in the collection of consistent and meaningful data on community well-being in locations where mining companies operate. The multi-stakeholder process on which the BZH Framework is based also aims to shift how companies participate in community development dialogue more broadly. The Framework is laid out in four-phases and is designed to complement existing company initiatives for baseline data collection (such as Social Impact Assessments) as well as existing community planning and development processes.
