Press release: "Mining sector needs greater transparency and accountability"
Extractive industries play an increasing role in the UK economy but more must be done to improve the social and environmental performance, transparency and reputation of UK-registered mining companies, says the Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) Select Committee in a report published today. To encourage companies to act responsibly, the Committee calls on the Government to enable investors to look into and rank mining companies according to factors such as governance ethics, community relations, and the management of climate change.
