Business Insights on Sustainability
What is driving sustainable practices in the mining sector?
“Real-time data empowers companies to make informed decisions, preventing harm to communities and the environment. Transparency in reporting, driven by data, initiates a dialogue and compels companies to improve. Data is the storyteller, guiding the industry toward sustainable practices.”
Kati McCartney, President, FROSKR
“The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI), appears to have lost some traction in the mining sector. From my perspective, it might have been perceived as overly aggressive in pushing for rapid change. The industry needs alignment with science, but the approach may have been too fast-paced.”
Emily Thorn Corthay, Founder and CEO, Thorn Associates
“Financial disclosures related to nature and carbon impacts are gaining significance and influencing rules. Instead of trying to bypass regulations, the key is early de-risking of projects, engaging stakeholders, and integrating environmental and social considerations into the strategy and mine planning from the start.”
Louise Pearce, Global Mining Director, ERM
