Abstract: In recent history, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become synonymous with large business organizations' philanthropic contributions to society. Obviously in the mining industry, because of the nature of its activities in affecting both environment and people, the demand for this voluntary activity from multinational mining companies (MNMCs) by society has become inevitable. This function of CSR had been achieved through the utilization of community engagement discourse with external communities. The main purpose, amongst others, of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of Papua New Guinea (PNG) Ok Tedi mine's community engagement discourse in responding to local community development demands in compensation for adverse environmental impact in its riverine area. It will highlight the critical significance of community engagement discourse as a prime mover in facilitating the achievement of corporate social responsible development projects or lack of it pertaining to a group of mine‐affected riverine local community in PNG.
