Critical Impacts: Engineering, Environment and Ethics in Open-Pit Mining

Our session will focus on the intersection of environmental science and corporate responsibility in mining regions. We will examine both the physical impacts of mining and the social responsibilities companies have toward communities affected by these impacts. We aim to highlight how technical insights and governance frameworks together contribute to safer, more transparent, and more sustainable extractive practices.
