Mining Sector

Mining Sector

Whether mining for minerals or metals, mine operators must focus on the responsible management of natural resources and ensure their projects have minimal impact to the environment.

We know that delivering value to all stakeholders is what makes our mining clients win. Business success for mining operations hinges on productively partnering with governments, agencies, community advocacy groups, and non-government organizations to satisfy stakeholders’ needs. At the same time, environmental policies and regulations are expanding, and mine operators are facing increasing pressure to reduce operational costs that erode returns on investments.
Eco & Partner recognizes that you require a mining consulting partner that not only keeps you ahead of regulatory changes, but who listens, and understands the complexities of this dynamic industry. As passionate advocates for the mining industry, we stay actively involved in the industry associations, decision-making bodies, and community organizations that have the most impact on your projects — and bring that collaboration to bear for your benefit.
We know your mining projects are subject to permitting delays, evolving environmental regulations, and community opposition. Our mining consultants work alongside your internal teams and stakeholders to minimize these obstacles and to find win-win solutions for you, regulators, and the communities in which you operate.

Some of the Service We do offer include:
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and Permitting
Ecological Assessments
Environmental Compliance Auditing and Monitoring; responding to increasing regulatory pressure and shareholder expectations on transparency in compliance and governance, including reporting;
Mitigating social challenges that impact a license to operate;
Addressing major Environment Health and Safety risks;

    Stakeholder Engagement

    Eco & Partner Consult has proven expertise in managing community and other stakeholder expectations, and in facilitating community involvement, even in conflict situations.

    Our stakeholder engagement team works combine the highest standards of verbal and visual communication with in-depth technical expertise to ensure in-depth and accurate presentation of the project related information to the different stakeholders. We consider stakeholder engagement as a platform for identifying the environmental and social issues that matter most for the business.

    By informing and engaging all stakeholders in a way that is independent and impartial we aim to maintain the highest levels of trust and integrity. We ensure a wide range of groups and individuals are involved; from the client and consulting teams, through statutory consultees and both national and local special interest stakeholder groups, to the wider community.
