Governance, Policy & Regulatory Framework

Within and beyond government, mining now has an extended range of stakeholders, more so with increasing attention on ESG outcomes and the visibility available with social media. This has given rise to more regulations, at multiple levels, together with compliance inspection and reporting obligations.

Mining companies are striving to be, and be seen as, responsible corporate citizens, aligning with heightened governance standards and community expectations. While many policy and regulatory measures have been introduced to address past mismanagement, some have also led to unintended, unproductive costs without necessarily delivering the best sustainable outcomes for all stakeholders.

We believe that effective regulatory frameworks should enable transformational PMLU by supporting innovative and economically viable rehabilitation solutions. We work across industry, government, and affected communities to ensure policies are fit-for-purpose, allowing for better environmental, social, and economic outcomes. By identifying barriers in well-intended or reactive legislation, we advocate for practical reforms that balance regulatory oversight with flexibility, ensuring that mining legacies can be transformed into long-term assets that benefit industry, government, and the broader community.
