Sustainable Development Goals

Integration Strategy
We will always look for partnerships, and help to facilitate other collaborations, to achieve gains in sustainability.We are strong believers in the power of the collective - through diversity and inclusive engagement, we can move forward much farther and faster towards our goals.
We are extremely motivated to see the end of environmental risks and impacts associated with mining. One of the core areas that causes such impacts is tailings and mine wastes - and for most sites, this equates to the majority of materials that mining moves - always in the high 90’s percentile. Managed incorrectly or insufficiently, these wastes can have impacts on land, water, sub-surface aquifers, air quality, and of course biodiversity of all living things within the vicinity. On the other hand, with proper management, these challenges can disappear.

We are collaborating to advance solutions towards the elimination of mine wastes and working towards mineral companies embracing and supporting a circular economy. With new visions, appropriate evaluation and technological developments, there are possibilities for alternate use of waste raw materials - creating new products, driving local economic and infrastructure development while repairing past damages, and even preventing impacts from occurring in the first place.

EIS will facilitate improvements in all of these areas through advisory efforts and recommended preventative work, as well as through collaborations with suppliers providing specific technologies or services to create positive change in these environmental indicators.

The work of EIS and its collaborators aims to address issues on the social side as well. By facilitating improvements in environmental performance, and by ensuring that stakeholders are engaged in project plans and developments. By ensuring the related concerns of local stakeholders are integrated into recommended solutions, and by facilitating collaborations with local business providers or the development of local capabilities to do so.

We will always facilitate transparency, inclusivity and collaboration, and provide direction for improving employee & stakeholder engagement and relationship developments.
