ESG Regulations
How are regulatory changes impacting the mining value chain?
“There has been an evolution in government regulations that is now affecting the mining industry, particularly regarding discussions on carbon neutrality.”

“As regulations change, companies have to think differently about water treatment, and investments into water management must be made from the beginning.”
Marie-Claude St-Pierre, Environmental Director, GCM Consultants
“The federal carbon tax and upcoming clean fuel regulation will provide economic incentives for end users to move towards lower carbon fuels. The result will be decreased distribution of heavy fuel oil, diesel and propane, and an increase in demand for natural gas in the transportation, industrial, mining and other sectors.”
Andrew Wilkins, Vice President – Business Development and Marketing, DGSC
“We anticipate continued demand for our water management services, permitting and civil engineering, as climate change worsens and government regulations become increasingly extensive.”
