Challenge the practice is addressing: A mine should economically benefit the local area in which it is situated, and in particular, hire locals as much as possible.

Concrete practice to achieve the expected goal: Agnico Eagle hired locals to work in the Kittilä mine but also used local goods and services as much as possible.

Expected impact/goal of the practice: Economic benefits for the local community, the municipality and the region as a whole. This also helps with public acceptance.
