This report maps the current and projected future of the mining landscape, including the challenges, opportunities, and impacts of mining activities. The aim is to inform the development of the Commission’s strategic objectives and priority actions.
It looks at why, and how, mining is changing in response to market demand and stakeholder influences. It analyses the impacts of those changes, and pinpoints six strategic objectives to steer institutional investors towards the Commission’s vision for a more socially and environmentally responsible mining sector by 2030.
The report is broken down into four chapters:
- Overview of the current mining landscape.This includes current production volumes and geographies, how these are projected to evolve in the future, and the challenges and opportunities for the sector in meeting mineral demand.
- Impacts of the mining industry.This includes analysis of the social and environmental impacts of the sector’s activities.
- Investor role in shaping the mining sector.This includes analysis of key stakeholders, relevant standards, and where investors can effect change within the mining value chain.
- Recommendations for investors.This includes conclusions on key areas where collective investor action can realise a more socially and environmentally responsible mining sector.
