Geoscience organisations now require a level of ESG understanding as part of ethical guidelines and good practice that is constantly evolving and can feel overwhelming.
This course has been created by a team of ESG consultants with broad backgrounds including geology, mining, sustainability, ecology and human rights with the aim to demystify the world of ESG and evaluate the importance of ESG factors in project success.
It is designed for geoscientists in the exploration and mining industry to help navigate the environmental, social and governance (ESG) labyrinth and embed ESG good practice across all stages of mineral project evaluation from discovery to decommissioning and beyond.
Course Structure
Three, 3.5-hour interactive online sessions presented over 3 days between 2pm-5.30pm BST (mornings in North America and afternoons in Europe). A digital manual and exercise materials will be distributed to participants before the course.
