Environmental, social and governance issues are high on the corporate agenda these days, not least in the mining sector. In southern Africa, the industry relied for decades on a ruthless and racially exploitative model of cheap migrant labour and predatory capitalism that explains much of the union militancy that is seen today.
This standard — really a set of standards — has been developed by the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance , a nonprofit group. Its leadership is drawn from NGOs, unions, mining communities, mining companies, and companies that purchase mined commodities. The standards have been more than a decade in the making and involved public consultations with various stakeholders.
Other measurements include “emergency preparedness and response” , occupational and community health and safety, greenhouse gas emissions, water management and biodiversity protection.We are pleased that Unki will be the first mine in the world to publicly commit to a third-party audit to determine its performance against IRMA’s Standard for Responsible Mining.
Unki hosted one of the first pilot audits under the initiative, so it is relatively well prepared for the process.
