"An increased focus on environment, sustainability and governance is expected to be the most notable change to the JORC Code when draft changes are published following the first review of the code in 11 years." Organisations must prioritise compliance to meet regulations and protect their reputation. They have a moral obligation to minimise their harm on the environment and benchmark their ESG performance against industry standards.

LME is just the market. LME is not responsible of ESG downstream neither upstream. LME is doing exactly what it is supposed to do but we still accuse it. To go against the market itself is the same as trying to manipulate it. What is the message we are delivering when we allow these kind of accusations.

🌍  **Harmonizing Standards for Sustainable Raw Materials** 🌍 Exciting developments are underway as the OECD, EU, and ISO work together towards harmonizing standards for the production, processing, and traceability of sustainable raw materials. This collaborative effort was a major highlight at the Berlin Mining Forum, emphasizing the critical need for standardized rules in mineral raw material supply chains to foster harmonized trade and economic growth alongside renewable energy initiatives. Key Points Discussed: **Need for Harmonized ESG Criteria and Standards:** Ongoing efforts to merge existing standard schemes are essential. * **Multi-Stakeholder Participation:** It's vital to include the concerns of both large mining industry operators and local stakeholders in a structured and timely manner. **Role of Independent Third-Party Auditing:** Auditing of standards, rather than the standards themselves, is crucial for measuring and improving the sustainability efforts and transparency of global mining operators. UNFC and UNRMS are tools for global standardisation of classification methodologies and of sustainable resource management principles. #SustainableMining #RawMaterials #ISOStandards #ESG #RenewableEnergy #BerlinMiningForum #Harmonization #Sustainability #Trade #EconomicGrowth Dario Liguti

🆕 Open-access 🆓 Our analysis of #CriticalMineral strategies in Australia. Across 17 strategies from the commonwealth and most states and the NT governments over $6.6bn has been dedicated to upgrading critical mineral development, including processing technology. Despite every strategy claiming that Australia's high ESG standards are a competitive advantage for our exports, very little effort is made to upgrade environmental or social outcomes or the rights of First Nations. To maintain and capitalise on our 'ethical' competitive advantage, real reforms are needed. Co-authored with Neil Coe School of Geosciences University of Sydney https://lnkd.in/d3sMCvFa

Cobalt Institute highly appreciated the opportunity for our Head of Responsible Sourcing & Sustainability Susannah McLaren to peer review this important report released by the International Energy Agency (IEA): Sustainable and Responsible Critical Mineral #SupplyChains: Guidance for Policymakers   The report delves into the challenges and opportunities in the mining and processing of minerals vital for clean energy technologies. It not only addresses ESG impacts in this sector but also proposes strategic recommendations for policymakers of both consumer and producer countries. Complementing the report is an update to the #CriticalMinerals Policy Tracker, which reflects around 450 policies across more than 35 countries and provides an overview of the current policy landscape that can be useful to policymakers and civil society alike. https://lnkd.in/e27gAkTm
