Mining, like the rest production activity worldwide, faces the challenge of energy and digital transformation. In fact, the mining industry has already been incorporating new processes with the priority of ensuring its own sustainability.

In today’s mining industry, mining companies are working to continuously improve their environmental management, making a commitment to sustainable production through policies based on the circular economy and the SDGs.

Today, companies prioritise efficient and sustainable management of water consumption by equipping their operations with the best available water treatment techniques, enabling them to operate with full guarantees of environmental protection and to increase water recirculation by minimising consumption from external sources. They also develop and implement procedures for calculating the environmental footprint (carbon and water) and the conservation and protection of biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as improving the current management of industrial waste.
