Abstract: This paper wonders about the interest to lead a responsible business strategy in a wild environment where performance is based on deregulated competition. We apply this questioning to artisanal mining of " " blood diamonds» in DR Congo, deemed among the most difficult conditions, while some companies organize themselves into cooperatives announced respectful and more efficient. We interview 15 artisanal miners of two cooperatives and 7 actors of their competitive and institutional environment, about their perceptions of the different criteria of the sustainable performance: economic, social and ecological. It appears that cooperative organizations are actually perceived more efficient, by both their members and their environment, on all of the criteria. Cooperatives have significantly reduced all complaints against the mining industry and prove more profitable, even if there is significant scope for progress.
