MT2155 - Mining Ethics

Environmental stewardship is only one aspect of mining sustainably, where legislative requirements govern how the mining industry operates within the various jurisdictions. However, it is also increasingly more important for corporations to develop partnerships with the people, communities, and organizations within their operating regions to ensure a ‘social license’ exists to operate and that the socioeconomic benefits have as much impact as possible. This course begins with an introduction to the concepts of sustainable development and environmental stewardship, and similar approaches, used in industry. The typical environmental issues associated with the mining industry are then presented, along with the steps required to manage, monitor, and report on environmental impacts. Federal and Provincial legislative requirements will also be reviewed for all stages of the mining life cycle.
