Mine Environmental & Social

Any project or management activity requires a sound understanding of the complexities and interdependency of ecosystems, regulation, advances in technology and community/social pressures; mining is no exception. We work with our clients to build business value, enable project success, and minimise risks and cost, while also conforming to the ideals of responsible development.

Overview

We see the value of an integrated multidisciplinary approach: aligning regulatory process, environmental specialists, social performance specialists and engineering disciplines to develop solutions that meet the environmental and social principles of sustainability. We also recognise the value of involving multiple stakeholders in project planning and decision making. This can enable risks and opportunities to be promptly identified and resolved, saving time and money.
