🌍⛏️ Exploring Sustainable Mining: The IGFMining Policy Framework 📜🤝
https://lnkd.in/dRJ3rM2v
The International Institute for Sustainable Development's (IISD) Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals, and Sustainable Development (IGFMining) has been a trailblazer in fostering responsible and sustainable mining practices globally.
The IGF's Mining Policy Framework stands as a cornerstone, offering a comprehensive guide for governments and stakeholders to promote sustainable mining practices. This framework prioritizes economic development, social wellbeing, and environmental protection, establishing a roadmap for the mining sector to operate responsibly while fostering positive impacts on local communities and the environment.
This dynamic framework outlines key principles and best practices to navigate the complex landscape of mining operations, emphasizing transparency, good governance, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. It's a testament to the IGF's commitment to balancing economic prosperity with social and environmental considerations.
Amidst the global drive towards sustainability, the Mining Policy Framework serves as a valuable tool, facilitating dialogue, collaboration, and the implementation of sustainable mining policies worldwide. It encourages governments and industry players to collaborate, aligning efforts to ensure that mining activities contribute positively to social and economic development while minimizing environmental impacts.
Let's acknowledge the invaluable efforts of the IGF in promoting sustainable mining practices and fostering a responsible mining industry. The Mining Policy Framework is a testament to the collaborative efforts aimed at achieving a balance between mining for resources and safeguarding our planet's future. 🌿⚒️

A new Fastmarkets report shows that #ESG-focused Australian miners are facing competition from cheaper producers abroad.
With investors placing increasing value on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, mining companies are having to choose between maintaining competitive production and promoting ESG principles.
That's the topic explored in an August 8 report from Callum Perry, Solomon Cefai, Alice Li and Laura Roberts of Fastmarkets. In it, they outline the conundrum facing Australia's #mining industry and the impact it's having.
The report mentions Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO, NYSE:RIO, @LSE:RIO), BHP (ASX: BHP, NYSE: BHP, LSE:BHP) and Fortescue (ASX:FMG,@OTCQX: FSUMF), which have committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Rio Tinto is aiming to reduce its emissions by 50 percent by 2030, and BHP has set a target of a 30 percent reduction by the same year. Fortescue has an even more ambitious target of 90 percent.
