Mining, People and the Environment

For all enquiries please contact Melina Day; melina.day@aspermontuk.com

Following the success of the inaugural Mining, People and the Environment (MPE) 1 day conference in 2010, and the successful return to Toronto in 2011, MPE 2012 is being planned at present.  With the backing of its namesake publication, and UK Mining Journal and Mining Magazine the 1 day conference will update all those with an interest in the mining industry with all of the latest developments in corporate social responsibility and environmental best practice. Speakers and delegates from industry, government and civil society will come together to discuss some of the biggest issues in environmental and social accountability.

The 2012 event will return with a new format with a greater focus on debate, dialogue and learning.

For 2012 the event will not only include more panel sessions and question time but will incorporate a working lunch which will encourage networking, debate and examination of various issues by distributing discussion papers.

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.

“This one-day conference is an exciting extension to what MPE already brings readers in print, and the building programme for 2012 will again contain  uptodate hot topics” Katherine Welch, former Editor, MPE
