Exploring the case for climate-smart mining at African Mining Indaba
Mining is a key industry and one of the biggest contributors to the Global economy. We know and understand that Mining will continue to play a crucial role in securing a clean and greener world. As the sector continues to evolve, the mining companies continue to invest in sustainability of the environment and that of host communities, we have seen mines prioritise reducing the carbon footprint of mines to mitigate the impact of climate change, as well as the wellbeing of local communities.
We have seen a number of mining companies being rated well for the ESG performance as the sector continues to invest in better resource management to reduce their environmental impact while also investing in technology to improve safety, engineering advances, productivity and efficiencies through automation and digitisation. With the industry acutely aware of the need to operate sustainably, we have seen a significant rise in interest in sustainable finance products, which are used to fund improvements in a firm’s ESG performance.
