當今，有越來越多公司採用企業社會責任作為經營策略的一部分，通常這些策略不只提高了公司本身的永續發展，也提高了國家整體的商業發展。企業社會責任的貢獻著重於環境和社會的保護，以及提供經濟效益，但有某些產業從以前到現在都被質疑經營運作的透明責任，礦產業就是其中之一。有關礦產業的爭論採礦是否提供一個經濟、環境和社會可持續性模式發展。儘管採礦業對社會有益處時，但也對受影響社區造成有害的衝擊。 Goldcorp Inc.是在美國重要黃金礦業公司其中之一。在瓜地馬拉，Goldcorp已經和Montana Exploradora de Guatemala S.A.有採礦營運。自從二零零四年的五月，這家公司開始於瓜地馬拉的Marline礦產區建設，而這區也成為全國衝地方衝突的目標。 在二零一零年時，美洲人權委員會為了保護當地土著人民的健康、環境以及人權，呼籲瓜利馬拉政府在Marlin礦產區暫緩營運。
　　這是Montana Exploradora de Guatemala企業社會責任，通過永續發展三大支柱的評估報告：經濟、社會和環境的永續。本研究主要有四個目的：鑑定Marlin礦產區對於瓜地馬拉San Marcos永續發展的貢獻，描述企業社會責任，從不同的論點識別礦業到國家永續發展的貢獻，並提出企業社會責任的建議，以增加瓜地馬拉的永續發展。描述了企業社會責任，從不同的參數識別從礦山到國家的可持續發展的貢獻，並提出建議的企業社會責任，以提升瓜地馬拉的可持續發展。

Nowadays companies increasingly adopt corporate social responsibility as part of its business strategy, generally those strategies improve the sustainable development not only of the business but also within the county that the business is developed. The contributions from the CSR are focusing on taking care of the environment and society, as well as providing economic benefits, but there are certain industries that has been questioned about the transparent responsibility of its operations, the mining industry is one of them. The debate about the mining industry relies whether mining provides an economically, environmental and socially sustainable model development. While the mining industry generate benefits to societies, the industry has detrimental impact on affected communities.

On 2010 in order to protect the health, environment and human rights of local indigenous communities, the Inter-American Commission of Human rights, calling on the Guatemala government to suspend operations at Marlin Mine.
