Mining has been a vital industry of the United Kingdom with more than 2,000 active mines in the country, which produces a wide range of metals, industrial minerals, and fossil fuels. It is one of the sectors, which is increasingly exposed to Environmental & social governance (ESG) issues that are shaping both recruiting criteria and the skills employers need in the mining sector. Both the industry and investors are repeatedly focussing on these issues.
Companies that are concerned about ESG problems strive to prevent environmental disasters like the Vale tailings dam burst in Brazil and the Mount Polley tailings breach in British Columbia.
