The stark choice facing mining companies is that unless they can control their emissions they risk losing value and competitive advantage. The longer they leave it, the more difficult it will be, as shareholder attitudes harden and capital markets pivot to greener production
A recent survey of 200 global mining executives by Ernst & Young reveals that 25 per cent of them list environmental and social issues as the number one risk and opportunity for the industry. This is up from fourth in last year’s survey. Decarbonisation is in second place and licence to operate in third. This change has been forced by stakeholder pressure,“The biggest factor has been the influence of the capital markets.
Fortescue Metals and BHP are just two companies that have been pushing a greener focus recently as demands for environmental, social and governance factors increase. Stakeholder pressure is increasing across biodiversity and water management issues as well, which will require progressive mine closure plans.
