Session 7 (MINEX Kazakhstan’24)

Best Sustainability Practices in action.

In Kazakhstan's mining sector, adopting international Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards is vital for both competitiveness and sustainable growth. Given that many of these enterprises export to global markets and secure funding from international financial lenders, they face increasingly stringent demands. These include a shift towards green technologies, addressing climate change, and making impactful investments. The session will provide a platform for these companies to share their experiences with ESG practices, outlining their strategies for decarbonisation and the pursuit of carbon neutrality. Experts will discuss current trends and challenges in the implementation of ESG practices and projects, focusing on environmental conservation, social responsibility, and corporate governance. Additionally, the session will highlight the role of new technologies and innovations in minimising environmental impacts and promoting ecological restoration in the mining industry.
