| Sumario: | A Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) index is introduced to quantitatively evaluate quarrying activities. The index is based on fifteen indicators representing the environmental, social, and economic dimensions, providing a straightforward and flexible tool to analyze and enhance the value of quarrying projects at any stage. The proposed method enables the assessment of a quarry through three levels: individual indicators, dimensions (comprising multiple indicators), and an aggregated value encompassing all three dimensions. The Quarrying CSR index has been applied to three case studies, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential applications within the sector. Additionally, it relies on easily verifiable data, promoting transparency in evaluations and fostering stronger engagement with stakeholders. The system also facilitates the analysis of patterns and trends across subsectors and regions within the quarrying industry, as well as the evaluation of policy implementation in the sector. |
