The SME Guide to ESG Resources

The SME Environmental, Social and Governance Toolkit is a resource for the mining industry. The Toolkit is composed of information, links and downloadable documents covering the many aspects of ESG in the mining industry.

The resources in the ESG Portal are meant to support members of the mining industry in aligning their activities with the evolving priorities of their communities and stakeholders, thus demonstrating a responsible and open approach to operational, social and environmental performance. Socially conscious investors screen their investments using these factors, making it a very valuable effort for companies to learn as much as possible about them.
