Project
SAM produces new tools for assessing sustainability in mining industry, especially for the management and communication in relation to environmental and social issues.
Background
Both the Natural resources strategy (2009) and Finland’s Minerals Strategy (2010) underline the quality and export possibilities of Finnish environmental know-how, through which social acceptance is sought for the extractive industry. SAM is part of sustainable extractive industry programme Green Mining by Tekes
Objectives
The aim is to increase the acceptance and sustainability of extractive industry especially in Finland and other northern areas.
