SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN MINING

Social and environmental responsibility has moved from a “nice to have” element of mining business operations to a critical strategic objective across the mining sector.  The perceived right to have a presence of place in a community is as critical as any government approval.  Mining businesses must understand and apply the concept of “shared value” – reframing mining as an activity that supports everyone it impacts in a positive way.

Diversity and inclusion of all genders across business operations is a critical element of social responsibility.  As is fostering Indigenous community and economic development through mineral resource activities – acting as a positive and empowering force for first peoples worldwide.
