Resilience and decarbonisation are two sides of the same coin for companies as they evolve their strategies toward climate change, according to associate partner and principal scientist Philippa Burmeister.
''While decarbonisation is about limiting the company's impact on the environment, resilience is about being prepared for the environment's impact on the company's operations'', says Burmeister. ''Every responsible organisation needs to be addressing both these imperatives - not just one or the other''.
Decarbonisation continues to be a strategic priority for mining companies, with targets and achievements being reported in greater detail as part of integrated reporting standards and requirements. Among the more well-publicised of these efforts are new and relatively unproven technologies that mines are still testing - such as hydrogen trucks.
