RESPONSIBLE MINING : WHAT DOES IT TAKE ?
We can then serve – as we need to serve - as a bridge to the future ,” said ICMM President Anthony Hodge .
Transparency is another way mining companies can embrace responsibility . The Internet has put the industry on notice as it can take stories about operations and companies , and spread it worldwide at a moment ’ s notice . Because of this , corporations have to be accountable to a degree that was never anticipated
back in the golden years . Responsible miners should share what they ’ re doing and how they ’ re doing it . It ’ s important to deliver that message , especially to advocacy groups , indigenous people , investors and other stakeholders to showcase how the company is striving to improve .
To be a responsible miner , it doesn ’ t take much--it simply takes the will power to do the right thing .
