Compliance challenges for the minerals and mining industry

As a compliance professional in the minerals and mining industry, it often feels like you’re fighting an unfair fight. You must navigate a complex web of regulations from agencies like OSHA, and numerous ESG laws such as the German Supply Chain Act (LKsG) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).

The industry faces unique challenges, including environmental, bribery, and corruption risks, stringent health and safety standards, a transient workforce, and complex relationships with third parties and suppliers. You must also ensure your organization fosters an ethical culture and acts with integrity in all dealings with regulators, government officials, and communities.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Ensuring reliability, traceability, and compliance with laws such as the German Supply Chain Act, EU Corporate Sustainability laws, and the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act.

Financial Reporting and Anti-Corruption Laws

Regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Act’s conflict minerals rule require companies to disclose payments made to governments and ensure their supply chains are free from corruption and human rights abuses.
