SRK Consulting holds the philosophy that work cannot be done in an environment without considering social and environmental impact assessments. These assessments are to a large extent the people that live in an area of development. ESG is a key driver of change and a mechanism for advancing in the green economy world. Therefore, it is essential to discuss its importance and understand its stance.
According to Reddy, ESG has seen major growth within the last two to three years. This growth has allowed this discipline to take on another element, which is the end-user, through the value chain and this is driving it. One of ESG’s new initiatives is the RE-SOURCING approach which seeks to define standards for responsible resourcing, bringing in perspectives from African and Asian regions to ensure that technology is developed for a range of key minerals.
