ESG permitting
& authorisation

Internal and external stakeholders increasingly demand that mining companies adhere to internal codes of good practice on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and report annually in accordance with various prescribed reporting codes.

Back to sustainable mining

ESG in this context refers to the potential risks and impacts of mining operations from pit to port, requiring comprehensive reporting on material risks and impacts affecting the environment and the communities surrounding mining operations.

At Ukwazi, our team includes ESG specialists and permitting experts with deep knowledge of the mining sector, enabling us to mitigate environmental and social risks through proactive planning and compliance. We are committed to supporting mining companies in achieving their ESG goals while navigating complex regulatory landscapes.
