The INFACT project, PERC and Responsible Raw Materials have co-hosted a series of virtual round table discussions on the inclusion of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in reporting of mineral deposit estimates and exploration results globally on Tuesday 26th January. Speakers included advisors to and /or members of the different CRIRSCO codes or standards, as well as other organisations pertinent to the discussions. The event has focused on the following aspects:
- Context and why ESG is important;
- Challenges faced in incorporating these aspects into codes and standards;
- Changes happening or anticipated as a result; and
- What can we learn from each other and what can we share?
