The launch of a global commission to raise mining sustainability is important because mining can have significant environmental and social impacts, including habitat destruction, pollution, and displacement of local communities. The commission can help address these issues by promoting sustainable mining practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. This can benefit both the industry and the wider community by ensuring that mining activities are conducted in a way that minimizes harm and maximizes benefits for all stakeholders.
What will this mean for the industry?
Businesses and the mining industry should know that the launch of a global commission to raise mining sustainability signals a growing emphasis on sustainability in the mining sector. The commission will likely develop a framework for sustainable mining that includes best practices for environmental management, social responsibility, and economic viability. This framework may provide guidance for businesses and the mining industry to improve their sustainability practices, potentially reducing their environmental impact, enhancing their social license to operate, and improving their economic performance. Businesses and the mining industry should also be aware that the commission’s findings may influence regulations and policies related to mining sustainability.
Companies need to learn and adjust to the forthcoming changes. Join key decision makers at the 2nd Energy Transition for the Metals and Mining Industry conference, on January 19-20th, in Toronto, Canada. Industry leaders will gather to discuss and exchange the best practices for implementing green fuel and sustainable infrastructure.
