Closing the gaps …and accelerating progress on responsible mining

Closing the gaps presents a systemic view of opportunities and critical conditions for accelerating progress on responsible mining. The report looks at key aspects of the ‘ecosystem’ – actors and their interactions – of relevance to responsible mining, including those in the mineral value chain and those with influence on industry practices and the global system, such as governments, investors, lenders, downstream customers, industry associations, voluntary initiatives, civil society and labour unions.
