SmartAccEss defines \u201caccess\u201d for extractive industries as the proper management, coordination and function of sustainability components, including permitting, community relations, environmental and social responsibility, government relations, external relations and communications. Managing just one of these aspects, or even a few of them, increases a company\u2019s chances to initiate or continue activities in the long term.
