Sustainability by design

While sustainability has become more of mainstream topic lately—that hasn’t always been the case. Debra Johnson recalls a time not too long ago when the word “sustainability” wasn’t even in spellcheck yet! She talks about “a mine’s commitment to being a good corporate citizen and community neighbor.” And, how working together with stakeholders and engaging with the community can decrease community opposition to new mining activities. Debra shares specifics – like the compounding benefits from thinking sustainably, recognizing connections to economic opportunity, and protecting health of local communities.
