Description

Industrial disasters, disclosure deficit: Can transparency level the field? This project aims to identify and apply innovative forms of transparency and new processes of public accountability for energy transition minerals. Recent tailings dam disasters have damaged the global mining industry’s reputation, eroded public trust, weakened investor confidence, and raised new challenges for insurers and other stakeholders. Companies are under intense pressure to disclose information about their activities and satisfy a concerned public that they are not putting people and the environment at risk. The research will benefit end users by improving Australia’s ability to maximise its mineral resource endowment, supporting the transition to low-carbon technology, and safeguarding these assets for future generations.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 1503 - Business and Management. Lead: Prof Deanna Kemp
