Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Data-disclosure exasperation; mining companies inundated with data requests.
• Greenwashing and unusable data; stakeholders want impacts and risks defined frankly, coupled with evidence of action taken to address these, and data that facilitates comparison between companies.
• Mass of legislation and complexity of permitting have increased in most jurisdictions. Consequences of regulatory breaches are extending beyond fines to suspensions of operations or rescinding of permits.

Mitigation Strategies

• Standard setters are working hard to help. There has been an explosion of new standards and more are in the making.
• Mining companies are piloting the new standards and frameworks, evaluating and polishing their performance, before external validation becomes the norm.
• New compliance enforcement tools are motivating more careful attention to commitments made and conditions incurred in permitting processes, coupled with better tracking of conformance with these.
