Nature Positive Role of the Mining and Metals Sector

Mining and metals companies can contribute to a nature-positive future by prioritizing actions to 1) transform operations across the mine life cycle, 2) improve water stewardship, 3) expand circularity and source responsibly, 4) restore and regenerate landscapes, and 5) transform policy systems and collaborate across sectors. These priority actions require companies to actively engage with suppliers, customers, peers and other industries to transform their value chains. While many of these actions are already being employed or gradually rolled out by businesses, this report calls for accelerated efforts in the mining and metals sector.
