Mining operations are an essential part of many developing nations. They provide jobs and resources, and fuel economic growth. However, irresponsible mining can also have a significant negative impact on the environment, local communities, and workers. It's crucial to recognise the importance of socially responsible mining to ensure that operations are sustainable and beneficial in the long run.
