MINING CHARTER
An Approach to Sustainable Mining
METAL & MINING SECTOR -
TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
The Charter outlines objectives (aspirational end states) for each thematic area, aiming to act as the north
star for our teams and challenge us to innovate. The Charter provides actionable frameworks across mine
lifecycle to guide actions, identifies challenges and proposes risk mitigation strategies. It also suggests key
performance indicators, which mine teams can incorporate to measure critical sustainability parameters
while sharing relevant and practical case studies and best practices from Hindalco and other global mining
companies.
OBJECTIVES
The Charter defines a three-tiered Governance Organisation, which will be able to provide guidance on and
ensure implementation of sustainability interventions, and a Sustainability Dashboard, which can be used to
measure overall mine level sustainability performance across the seven thematic areas.
The Sustainability implementation Roadmap provides guidance to mine team on developing mine
sustainability goals aligned with corporate sustainability goals; designing and implementing sustainability
interventions; and reporting performance.
It also provides guidance on incorporating mine specific factors such as the stage of the mine in its lifecycle,
type of mineral and extraction methodology and land ownership, to name a few, while defining goals and
designing interventions thus allowing each mine to prioritise issues and design solutions, which are best
suited to its requirement.
We envision this Charter to advance a shared understanding of socially, economically and environmentally
responsible areas that proposes a common platform for disseminating best practices and establishing
benchmarks within the mining industry in India.
We will continuously attempt to share our learnings with the broader mining community to develop a nation-
centric approach to sustainable mining in India.
