Most sustainable mining companies recognize that optimizing environmental performance and social impact is not only a matter of ethics or regulatory compliance , but it is also a sound business strategy . One of the biggest challenges currently facing our industry is balancing the need for minerals and metals with safety , productivity , and the responsible use of land , energy , and water . This challenge is exacerbated by the continuously growing global population , which means that the demand for these resources will only increase , making it imperative for the mining sector to find sustainable solutions .
“ Being more eco-friendly does not merely entail the products we create or the impact we have on the environment . As an organization , we are also part of people ’ s lives , and they expect us to make a positive contribution to socio-economic development in a sustainable way . To do so , we must reduce our environmental footprint and support biodiversity while also promoting economic growth and social progress . We are also dedicated to creating value for our shareholders , employees , and the communities in which we operate . As such , we have a deliberate , conscious strategy based on prioritizing respect for the environment and sustainability . In line with that , we are committed to South Africa ’ s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment and localization schemes , which foster collaboration between businesses and local communities , thereby providing employment
