    The document discusses sustainable development frameworks for mining operations. It defines sustainable development as meeting human development goals while sustaining natural systems. The framework incorporates environmental and social sensitivities in decisions, manages impacts at the mine level through sound systems, addresses land issues and community engagement, and ensures ethical functioning and responsible practices. Key challenges for mining operations are setting up expansions, workforce accommodation, balancing local and national interests, and long-term closure management. The goal is a balanced approach to economic, environmental and social factors.

    INTRODUCTION:
    Sustainable development is the organizing principle for meeting human development
    goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the
    natural resources and ecosystem services based upon which the economy and society
    depend.
    The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used
    to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of
    the natural system.

    “Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of


    the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
    their own needs”.

    •Sustainable Development is developing in such a way that future people will have
    “enough and as good”*
    Elements of sustainable development:
    Miners can achieve sustainable development by embracing :

    •Social justice
    • Environment quality and
    • Economic growth

    Active Mining Scenarios:


    •Provide profit & benefit
    •Use resource efficiently
    •Internalize environmental & social cost
    •Restore ecosystems & services it provides
    •Engage neighbors
    •Respect property, culture, & safety
    •Follow spirit & letter of law
    •Contribute to communities

    Sustainable Development Principles:
    •Implement and maintain ethical business practices and sound systems of corporate
    governance.
    •Integrate sustainable development considerations within the corporate decision-
    making process.
    •Uphold fundamental human rights and respect cultures, customs and values
    in dealings with.
    •Implement risk management strategies based on valid data and sound science.
    •Seek continual improvement of our health and safety performance.
    •Seek continual improvement of our environmental performance.
    •Contribute to conservation of biodiversity and integrated approaches to land use
    planning.
    • Facilitate and encourage responsible product design, use, re-use, recycling
    and disposal of our products.
    •Contribute to the social, economic and institutional development of the communities
    in which we operate.
    •Implement effective and transparent engagement, communication and independently
    verified reporting arrangements with our stakeholders.
    Sustainable Development Framework:

    •Incorporating Environmental and Social Sensitivities in decisions on


    leases.
    •Strategic Assessment in Key Mining regions.
    •Managing impacts at the Mine level impact through sound management
    systems.
    •Addressing Land, Resettlement and Other Social Impacts
    •Community engagement, benefit sharing and contribution to socio-
    economic development.
    •Mine Closure and Post Closure Mining operations must prepare,
    manage and progressively work on a process for eventual mine closure.
    •Ethical functioning and responsible business practices.
    •Assurance and Reporting.
    Key Challenges in mining operations:

    •Setting up and expansion of mining operations


    •Increase in workforce to support expansion
    •Accommodating the workforce – impact on forest areas
    •Impact of Operations on the environment
    •Balancing Local and National interests – local livelihood v/s mineral for
    development
    •Immediate, short, medium and long term management issues.
    •Mine Closure.
