The "S" in ESG Consideration
Social performance is essential for promoting diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces and societies and helping local communities to face the challenges of thriving in a world that’s rapidly changing as a result of climate change.
However, many companies fail to recognise the social risks and opportunities in their operations. By better understanding the effects mining plans have on local communities such as land use, resettlement, the protection of vulnerable populations, gender and workplace policies, and worker/community health and safety and security, the mining industry can enhance its social Licence to Operate and find new ways to compete in a decarbonising environment.
Addressing mine closures and their potential for reuse while taking into account the competing interests of artisanal miners is one way to accomplish this.
