These practices minimise the environmental impact and maximise the socio-economic impact during the development of mines. In fact, we developed India’s first Sustainable Mining Charter. As biodiversity and natural resource preservation become focus areas for sustainability in mining locations, so does the pre-existing poverty and poor access to health, education, infrastructure and information. Sustainability in extractive mining needs a specific, structured approach and guidelines to arrive at practical and long-term solutions.
