Mining and Extractives

 

As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) legislation tightens, companies in the mining and extractives sector face increasing pressure to comply with standards related to sustainable resource extraction, ethical labour practices, and environmental responsibility.

Mining companies must demonstrate that their extraction practices minimise environmental impact, including deforestation and pollution, while ensuring responsible waste management.  Additionally, they need to address social implications by guaranteeing fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for the rights of local communities, including Indigenous peoples.

Emerging EU regulations, including the EU Green Claims Directive, are designed to combat greenwashing by ensuring the accuracy of environmental claims while intensifying reporting requirements for businesses that are already challenged by regulatory compliance.

The Challenge

 

Documenting real-world conditions in mining and extractive supply chains is challenging.  Traditional audits or desktop research can give a basic understanding of a supplier’s practices, but effective risk management requires real-life verification from an independent body.

Companies in the mining sector need to comply with strict regulations by adopting strong environmental and labour practices.  This means they must improve supply chain transparency and gather reliable evidence of their operations.

Additionally, businesses should align their strategies with changing ESG frameworks to avoid potential fines, legal issues, and damage to their reputation from non-compliance or claims of greenwashing.
