Mining, Metals, & Minerals
Mining of metals and minerals is fundamental to modern society and sustainable development.
From powering essential industries and fostering innovation to supporting sustainable cities and communities, mined materials are the foundation of social progress and climate action. They enable existing green technologies—like electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries —and drive the creation of innovative solutions critical to achieving global goals.
The societal value of mining and metals/minerals, however, depends on confidence that these resources are produced responsibly, with due care for environmental and social impacts, and having confidence that they are safe to use. Recognising this, our members are steadfast in their commitment to ethical practices that prioritise sustainability, transparency, and accountability—ensuring mining contributes to a just and sustainable future for all.
