2025 Agenda Sessions
Are mining companies being honest in reporting their ESG and sustainability impacts?
• Are there too many reporting frameworks and demands? Is an excessive reporting burden causing mining companies to allocate a disproportionate amount of internal resources to communicating on the ESG risk management, rather than actually mitigating risks?
• How will the growing body of anti-greenwashing legislation around the world affect African mining?
• How do we avoid greenwashing?
• How can companies ensure that they are rewarded by reporting to credible and broadly accepted standards?
• What role do downstream purchasers and investors have to play? Do they care?
