Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Natural Resources and Environment executive director Professor May Hermanus has been appointed to serve on the Responsible Mining Index board.
The Netherlands-based Responsible Mining Foundation would, from 2017, publish the Responsible Mining Index, a biennial report that encouraged continuous improvement in responsible mining in the minerals and metals industry by transparently ranking the performance of mining companies on economic, environmental, social and governance issues.
The index would highlight leading practices and learning in an enabling context of transparency and free access to information for all stakeholders. The report was targeted at decision-makers, interest groups, stakeholders and opinion makers in the industry.
The index methodology and indicators would be developed through expert and stakeholder consultations to ensure a common understanding of what society at large expected from mining companies. The methodology would be developed this year.
A small international team would collaborate with content, process and methodology experts to compile the index. Hermanus would form part of the team.
The CSIR said Hermanus was well respected in the mining industry. She was a former chairperson of the Mine Health and Safety Council and of the Mining Qualification Authority.
