How do you measure sustainability in mining? The question sits at the centre of the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) first sector standard dedicated to mining. Launched in January 2026, the GRI 14 framework aims to help mining companies report more consistently on their environmental, social and economic impacts.
In this episode of Energy Technology: Industry Insights, we explore what the new standard means for an industry under growing scrutiny, from how “material” issues are defined to whether reporting frameworks can keep pace with the technological and regulatory changes in mining.
