Today's mining professionals face unparalleled challenges brought about by globalization and increased environmental awareness. The pressure is on to enhance corporate reputations, achieve higher operational efficiency, improve planning and control, gain access to mineral resources, build trust with stakeholders, attract financing, recruit and retain a quality workforce, and lower costs. This book provides a holistic, practical approach to achieving these goals. The key is to create a culture within the organization that recognizes the value of sustainability by effectively integrating economic, environmental, and social considerations. The book explores the three management functions that are instrumental in shaping this culture: corporate strategy, human resources, and operations. Each section of this book focuses on sustainable management from a different perspective, management level, or stage of the mine life cycle. The reader will benefit from real-life, practical insights from 27 internationally respected authors and see how leading-edge companies are leveraging culture, strong leadership, and organizational structure to capitalize on sustainability.
