As the Centre for Natural Resource Governance (CNRG) we are pleased to share this guide on socially responsible mining with our networks, published by Atkinsons Bullion. In this guide, the views or opinions expressed, are solely the publisher’s own and may not necessarily represent those of CNRG.
CNRG works to advance justice and dignity for communities affected by extractive industries. We seek to promote citizen participation and good governance of natural resources for the ultimate benefit of communities that live in resource-rich areas.
We hold the belief that mining operations are crucial for developing nations, providing jobs, resources, and economic growth. However, irresponsible mining can harm the environment, local communities, and workers.
It is this shared understanding that drives our motivation to provide access and further insight, into the Atkinsons guide, The Importance of Socially Responsible Mining in Developing Nations, that delves into this subject.

• The role of innovation in sustainable solutions
