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.
Key areas of compliance in minerals and mining
Minerals and mining companies are complex enterprises. There’s many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), to Conflict Minerals, to Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC). These include:
- 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.
- ABAC Compliance: Ensuring that anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) laws such as the FCPA and UK Bribery Act are upheld.
- Data Protection: Safeguarding sensitive information in an increasingly digital landscape and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations, including GDPR.
- Environmental Impact: Ensuring minimal environmental disruption and complying with regulations on waste management, water usage, and land rehabilitation.
- Health and Safety Regulations: Occupational safety standards set by organizations like the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) require companies to implement safety measures and training programs to protect workers from occupational hazards.
- Labor Laws: Observing fair employment practices and labor standards, global modern slavery, and human rights legislation.
- Export Controls: Complying with international trade laws.
