Minerals and metals play a central role in the global economy and mining is an important source of economic development in many countries. However, the harmful effects of mining remain a challenge for society to acknowledge and address. This report presents the results of a recent study by the Responsible Mining Foundation on harmful economic, environmental, social and governance (EESG) impacts associated with a sample of 38 of the world’s largest mining companies. These companies together account for approximately
28 per cent of global mining production, collectively covering 18 home countries, 55 producing countries and about 1,000 mining sites worldwide. The study shows the range of harmful impacts that have been recently reported for, or by, this sample of companies as an illustration of the negative impacts of mining activities worldwide. As such, the study offers a
reality check that underlines the urgent need to ensure responsible mining practices – and particularly the prevention of harm – become the norm. The reported incidents identified in the study cover a wide range of issues, including impacts on workers, affected communities and Indigenous Peoples, human rights and land defenders, artisanal miners, and other stakeholders. Harmful impacts can also damage environments and economies with associated impacts on the wider populations of producing countries. The global incidence of harmful impacts associated with the estimated 35,000 mining operations worldwide is likely to be on a scale far beyond that seen for the relatively small sample of large, well resourced companies in the study. And many incidents go unnoticed, due to the lack of corporate reporting on harmful impacts and the limits on civic space in some countries that hinder independent monitoring and reporting by civil society and media.
