Corporate Guide: Responsible Mining
Practical guidance for companies working to reduce mining's environmental impact.
INTRODUCTION
Mining is a critical activity that has powered societal advances since neolithic times. Unfortunately, it is also intimately linked to many environmental challenges. It is estimated it affects 35% of the world’s land area, including protected regions of high biodiversity and natural value.
The demand for critical minerals, such as copper, lithium, nickel and cobalt, is soaring. The energy transition, AI, defence and security applications and more, are all reliant on excavation of these precious resources.
Meanwhile, the industry faces increased scrutiny from regulators, investors and communities, whose expectations of responsible stewardship of the environment have never been higher.
Environment Analyst’s Responsible Mining Guide brings together experts at the leading edge of practice, with a plethora of insights and experience that can help deliver the necessary industry transformation.
