Taking place at the PDAC Convention, March 5th 2011. Register now

Following the success of the inaugural Mining, People and the Environment conference in 2010, the event returns to Toronto in 2011 with all of the latest developments in corporate social responsibility and environmental best practice.

Once again, speakers and delegates from industry, government and civil society will come together to discuss some of the biggest issues in environmental and social responsibility.

From the introduction of legislation to address climate change and greenhouse gas emissions to working with indigenous peoples and local communities surrounding proposed projects, environmental and social responsibility has become an integral part of exploration and mining. Against this background, Mining Environmental Management in partnership with PDAC and ICMM proudly presented their first environmental event in conjunction with PDAC’s annual convention in Toronto, Canada on Saturday 6 March

“This one-day conference is an exciting extension to what MEM already brings readers in print, and the planned programme already contains some hot topics” Katherine Welch, Editor, MEM

"The partnership of PDAC, MEM and the ICMM is a powerful one with much potential. I am looking forward to the MPE event as an exciting and effective contribution to the PDAC annual convention, presenting the most up to day thinking and activities on all matters related to CSR, sustainable development and the mining industry," Tony Andrews, Executive Director, PDAC

This event will address many of the key social and environmental challenges facing the industry today" Ben Peachey, Communications Director, ICMM

Incorporating World Mines Ministries Forum Mining, People and the Environment will also incorporate the formerly biennial World Mines Ministries Forum, bringing an additional wealth of experience and perspective from governments, civil society and community leaders to the conference’s forum discussions.
