ESG in Mining

ESG, SASB, GRI, TCDF, CDSB… To those unfamiliar, these acronyms mean nothing. Even to those familiar with Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) reporting, understanding these frameworks can be a serious headache. 

ESG reporting started as a response to the need for organizations to go beyond financial metrics. While there are many who may see sustainability pertaining to the environment only, corporate sustainability goes far deeper. It is centred around building long-term stakeholder value by implementing strategies that target a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). 

The first framework built on the structure that ESG provides was the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in 1997. Its goal was simple: create a global best practice for publicly reporting a range of economic, environmental, and social impacts. Since then, ESG reporting has exploded, and with it, the need for companies to track these metrics. 

The Challenge

Stakeholders and executives alike want to see how their company is doing in the industry when it comes to sustainability. A framework like the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) differentiates from 77 industries and takes metrics from each that it deems the most impactful to a company’s operational sustainability. However, understanding and accurately reporting these metrics can be a burden to site managers. 

The Solution
