Responsible Mining Index 2018: an assessment of company policies and practices
This first index covers 30 companies measured based on 73 indicators applied at company level across various thematic areas (namely: economic development, business conduct, lifecycle management, community wellbeing, working conditions, environmental responsibility).
One key finding is that few companies can demonstrate that they have systematically operationalised their commitments into effective actions and fewer still show they are tracking their performance on these issues. It also highlights how the scale and persistence of severe adverse impacts greatly undermine progress made by companies towards more effective management of economic, environmental, social and governance (EESG) issues.

Responsible Mining Index 2018
Author: Responsible Mining Index
...RMI assesses companies from the perspective of what society can reasonably expect of large-scale mining companies, and examines the extent to which companies are addressing a range of EESG issues in a systematic manner across all their mining activities and throughout the project lifecycle.
This first Index, RMI 2018, covers 30 companies from 16 home countries, including publicly-listed, state-owned and private companies. These companies operate more than 700 sites in over 40 producing countries, and the assessment covers most mined commodities, excluding oil and gas. The Index focuses largely on company-wide behaviour, while also looking at site-level actions at 127 mine sites, in order to provide a snapshot of information disaggregated to the level of individual mining operations...
New Responsible Mining Index highlights gaps in industry transparency and execution of policies

Many mining companies are not actually implementing their own policies concerning key commitments towards human rights and health and safety, according to a new assessment from the Responsible Mining Index (RMI) 2018.
The Responsible Mining Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in the Netherlands, released its first RMI report in April 2018. The report aims to reflect the Foundation’s support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, evaluating companies that produce 25% of all mined commodities globally on economic, environmental, social, and governance (EESG) issues.
The report says companies do not always reinforce their policies around EESG issues with “systematic, effective company-wide action,” revealing that there was little to no action taken where “companies would be expected to act.” Especially around human rights, there were minimal efforts by companies in monitoring mining’s impact on children or providing fair wages that are on par with living standards.
In addition, there was a lack of transparency within companies with regards to reporting their performance to other stakeholders and mining-affected communities...
