Environment, social and governance services for the mining sector

Today’s consumers now demand mining companies to demonstrate responsible practices – from how they protect their local environment, to their consideration of social issues such as diversity and modern slavery.

Very few industries in Australia are as impacted by these consumer demands as the mining sector – particularly for established oil and gas operators who also face growing competition from new entrants focussing on 100% renewable energies.

With pressure rising for all mining businesses, there has never been a better time to start evaluating their environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Take a proactive approach to demonstrating your business’s commitment to environment, social and governance within the mining sector.
