Sustainable Mining Standards

Sustainable mining standards are guidelines that ensure mining activities are conducted responsibly, balancing economic benefits with environmental protection and social well-being. They aim to minimize environmental damage, conserve natural resources, and respect the rights of local communities. These standards promote safe working conditions, reduce pollution, and plan for responsible land use and rehabilitation after mining ends. Overall, they help make sure that mining contributes to development without causing long-term harm to the environment or society.
