Sustainable Mining and ESG Performance in the Extractives Sector

Mining remains central to many African economies, but investors, communities and regulators now judge operations on environmental and social performance as much as production. This programme gives mining professionals a structured view of ESG issues across the mine life cycle and how to manage them. Delegates learn to embed responsible practice that protects both the licence to operate and long term value.
