Les effets nocifs de l’exploitation minière restent un défi que la société doit reconnaître et relever. Les rapports sur le développement durable tendent à se focaliser sur le degré de responsabilité des entreprises dans la création de contributions positives et la gestion des risques ESG. Le terme « risques ESG » est devenu un euphémisme pour désigner les effets néfastes potentiels de l’exploitation minière. Dans le contexte de la transition énergétique, les acteurs de l’industrie font maintenant référence à l’exploitation minière « verte » et au secteur comme « porteur d’avenir ». Pourtant, les effets nocifs de l’exploitation minière persistent, et il est nécessaire de désigner les risques pour ce qu’ils sont : nocifs pour les personnes, les environnements et les économies des pays producteurs lorsque la prévention échoue.

Élaboré à partir d’informations du domaine public (voir bibliothèque de documents ci-dessous), le rapport Effets nocifs de l’Exploitation minière : quand l’extraction nuit aux personnes, aux environnements et aux économies montre que les effets nocifs ne sont pas inévitables, mais qu’ils se produisent pourtant dans le monde entier, et pas seulement dans les juridictions où la surveillance réglementaire est limitée. Le rapport appelle à la normalisation de la prévention des effets nocifs dans l’ensemble du secteur.

Principaux effets identifiés dans l’étude

Qries

Comment lire ce graphique : Les termes figurant dans le nuage de mots ne couvrent que les impacts pris en compte dans l’étude, et sont donc nécessairement limités aux cas signalés comme des incidents spécifiques. D’autres impacts (tels que les émissions de gaz à effet de serre ou la pollution progressive due au drainage minier acide) ne sont pas inclus car ils sont rarement signalés comme des incidents indépendants dans une période donnée.

Portée de l’étude

Ce rapport présente les résultats de la récente étude de la RMF sur les impacts économiques, environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance (EESG) nuisibles associés à un échantillon de 38 sociétés minières à grande échelle (celles incluses dans le RMI Report 2020). Ces entreprises représentent ensemble environ 28 % de la production minière mondiale, couvrant collectivement 18 pays d’origine, 55 pays producteurs et environ 1000 sites miniers dans le monde.
