ABSTRACT: With the acceleration of the pace of “going global”, Chinese enterprises are investing in more and more non-ferrous metal mining projects abroad, with both successful experience and many lessons. After five years of efforts, Chinalco Toromocho Copper Mine in Peru has been built into a world-class mine project with “social respect, employee pride, excellent benefits and environmental friendliness”, which is widely regarded as a successful example of investment outside China. This paper reviews the successful experience of Chinalco’s Toromocho Copper Mine in fulfilling its social responsibilities in terms of relocation of new town, sewage treatment, etc., and the crisis public relations for emergencies such as blocked transmission line construction and pollution discharge crisis in rainy season, in order to provide beneficial experiences and thinking on social responsibility for other local enterprises from “going out” to “staying”, and finally stepping into “integrating in”.
