Future of Mining America 2019 Conference
Partner Andrew Lillie presented "Our Responsibility to the Planet: Improving Our Environmental Sustainability" at the Future of Mining America 2019 Conference.
Environmental protectionism is one of the dominant issues of modern day society, with increased focus from business, governments, and communities alike to reduce our impact on the environment. Mining holds a unique position around this topic, as it is often considered one of the worst offenders for poor environmental management and also holds the key to the world's sustainable energy future. Stakeholders and communities alike are now putting pressure on miners to guarantee that their operations and products are being carried out in a sustainable way.
Some of the topics he discussed included:
- Where are the environmental pressure points for stakeholders? Is their concern justified?
- What new strategies need to be implemented to ensure that we are operating more sustainably moving forward?
- Is it the responsibility of the industry to ensure standards are kept high across the board?
