The Ocean Foundation’s Post

A few years ago, I authored a commentary critiquing the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report of a mining company, highlighting numerous inconsistencies and asserting that the ESG framework was merely a passing trend. In light of recent developments, it appears that the prominence of ESG initiatives may be waning. https://lnkd.in/dTgT9jeG

For those who think sustainability is just cost and compliance, then find 20mins to watch this YouTube video. The revelation to those that have been in touch is that when you get under the hood sustainability is a value add, a tool that can better prepare for due diligence, raise confidence in the eyes of investors and mitigate operational and reputational risk…..

I’m not quite sure how I managed to slip a reference to Sabrina Carpenter into my first ever Investor Insight piece on ESG and the JORC code. Also not sure if Peter Klinger and Gerard McArtney will let me write another. But if you are interested in what the planned update to the JORC code and addition of 14 ESG measures means for mining and energy companies, read on https://lnkd.in/grujirbM AMEC (Association of Mining and Exploration Companies) #ESG #Mining #Resources

Over the last year, KLP has strengthened its engagement with selected companies in the metals and mining industry, in particular companies registered in China. These companies have, by the nature of their activity, a high risk of contributing to climate and environmental damage and should therefore provide a strong risk management framework. KLP will in 2024 vote against the board of 7 companies that does not disclose substantial sustainability data and that have also not responded to KLP requests for or updated information or dialog on ambitions and risk management strategy.

Are you getting the most out of your climate data? In this webinar Julie Paquet and I discussed how industry leader Nouveau Monde Graphite | NYSE: NMG (TSXV:NOU) is getting ahead of the evolving market to grow its business by taking climate action, and how other companies can do the same. TMX Group and Carbonhound’s webinar recording showcases how small-cap companies can use sustainability initiatives to generate business value, gain access to new customers and win accounts.

Now more than ever, the risks of biodiversity loss and its implications for companies is top of mind for investors. Globally recognized standards have emerged for companies to measure, assess, and report on their impacts on biodiversity and appropriately set targets and make commitments. Increased transparency and accountability are inevitable, and As You Sow is encouraging automakers to get ahead of the serious reputational, financial, and regulatory risks inherent to deep sea mining. As promising new innovations in battery technology and recyclability arise, it is time to double down on circularity, not new, extractive industries.

Spodumene. What is it? Why should I care? Spodumene is the primary ore for lithium mining and extraction: LiAl(SiO3)2, about 3.7% Li by weight. Spodumene's price has been fluctuating wildly over the last 5 years. Why? Spodumene Background DATA: https://lnkd.in/egapv3fk https://lnkd.in/eHysTeJq For those select few who occasionally read my posts, it may seem like I have very mixed views about mining/mineral extraction. And that's exactly right. Mining that wrecks the environment, displaces indigenous communities, is heavily polluting, is anchored in single bottom line thinking, offshores the profits etc. - not at all a fan. Responsible mining that balances today's needs against tomorrows sustainability - 7 generations down the track, is socially, morally and ethically just - definitely a big fan. Where does spodumene fit into that...how does that all play out? Fascinating stuff - supply chains, especially when one adds in triple bottom line thinking and focuses the discussion on eco/social-sustainability! #triplebottomline #triple #bottom #line #minerals #extraction #sustainable #sustainability #corporateresponsibility #corporate #responsibility #7thgeneration #7th #generation #supplychains #supply #chains https://lnkd.in/eCnvh6NZ
