A new vision for mining communities
Saturday Star
|February 21, 2026
THROUGH targeted education and skills development initiatives, as businesses our aim should be to create lasting social impact and inclusive economic growth, ensuring that the benefits of mining extend far beyond the extraction of resources.
A commitment to responsible and ethical practices in the mining sector, underpinned by robust Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, should drive our efforts.
The Imperative of Responsible and Ethical Practices
Mining carries with it the responsibility to operate sustainably and ethically in terms of all the suppliers it engages with. The sector's footprint on local communities and the environment necessitates a conscientious approach to ESG principles that prioritise the well-being of local communities.
The Power of Education and Skills Development
By equipping local residents with the necessary skills and knowledge, we enable them to participate more actively and effectively in the economy.
