Mining leads environmental charge in industryThe mining sector has often been at the forefront of environmental stewardship and post-mining rehabilitation, actively implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles that are progressively influencing the industrial environment. The core directive for these industries is clear yet impactful: Avoid causing harm.
“Environmental sensitivity goes beyond merely planting a few trees and walking away. It’s not just about damage and then fixing it—it’s focused on harmony with nature,” stated Joe Mosupyoe, General Manager at United Manganese Kalahari (UMK). He added, “At our mine in the Northern Cape, you’ll observe undisturbed wildlife. While we care about our profitability, like other miners, we believe in finding a balance that respects the environment rather than viewing it as a choice between one or the other.”
