Mining ethics and sustainability : papers from the World Mining Congress 2013

Abstract

This volume in the Globethics.net Global series highlights some of the most engaging conference presentations in the program stream on "Mining, Ethics and Sustainability" organized by the Canadian Business Ethics Research Network (CBERN) at the 2013 World Mining Congress hosted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) in Montreal, August 12-14, 2013. CBERN, a cross-sectoral network with a strong focus on the ethics of resource extraction was invited by CIM to broaden the traditional focus of mining conferences on the technical, engineering and financial dimensions of mining to include the social, environmental and ethical issues and challenges that are now central to mining operations worldwide. This collection of articles reflects the main topics addressed in the "Mining, Ethics and Sustainability" program stream.
