Beneath the surface: Exploring the ESG dynamics in the mining industry

The mining industry’s positioning in the global ESG landscape remains highly ambiguous. On one hand, the industry is perceived as a laggard when it comes to ESG stewardship. On the other, mining companies solely carry the hopes of an entire generation to supply a continuously growing need for the “green transition minerals”.

Rising pressure from investors, governments, downstream industries, and society is driving mining companies to improve their ESG performance. However, the challenge lies in moving from ambitions to tangible and actionable initiatives.

Multiple opportunities lie in the green transition, and ESG should no longer be perceived as a sacrifice of financial returns but rather as a significant catalyst for value creation.

CVA has developed and implemented proprietary methodologies that help mining players identify the right opportunities, deploy the right initiatives and maximize their returns while playing a leading role in the green transition.
