About the project
Why produce a Sector Supplement for the Mining and Metals Sector?
The Mining & Metals Sector Supplement encompasses exploration, feasibility, construction, mining and metal processing (including metal fabrication and recycling), and closure.
In terms of Over-reaching Policies and Management Systems, the Supplement calls for highlighting materials stewardship activities. In addition, thirteen supplementary indicators, as well as commentary to the GRI guidelines, have been developed to address economic, environmental and social aspects of Mining & Metals companies.
