Sustainable Operations

Get to net zero with electrification, decarbonisation and intelligent ESG.

Environmental and sustainability issues are top-of-mind for mining C-Suites around the world. Investors, governments, employees (and potential employees) and communities are all increasing pressure for the industry to reduce its environmental footprint.

From electrification and greater energy efficiency to more effective dewatering and land rehabilitation, executives are exploring and embracing ways to improve sustainability while delivering the minerals the world needs for global energy transition.

Electrification, for example, has huge potential to improve mining sustainability and productivity. But there are important considerations. What is the best model of electrification for your particular mining operation? Should your haul fleet use plug-in charging, swappable batteries or trolley-assist, overhead cables? And where will your electricity come from? If it’s from a largely coal-powered grid, you might not get the results you expect.

For any mining operation, it’s vital to model, design, embed, measure and manage ESG change programmes that deliver real change and demonstrable results.

At idoba, we’re working with an increasing number of global mining companies to help them identify and deliver on the key actions that accelerate their transition to net zero, from water-wise decision making to accelerated decarbonisation.
