Mining Sector is one of the leading industries in driving UN’s Sustainability Goals, expanding practices on environmental stewardship, social and governance aspects that are important to society and investors.
In recent years, the mining sector embedded sustainability practices and principles into all facets of mining, from exploration to project development and construction, operation and minerals processing, closure, and post-closure. By doing so, the mining sector streamlines value delivery and creation for the business, surrounding communities and the environment.
