The RIS-INCOME consortium is pleased to share the first results of the project. The software, MineESG, has reached its first functional version, marking a significant milestone in supporting mining companies with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting and regulatory compliance.

MineESG is the first digital tool specifically designed for the mining sector, ensuring alignment with European sustainability standards. By facilitating the creation of non-financial reports, it strengthens transparency and credibility, demonstrating companies’ commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices.

How the new CSRD enhances ESG reporting

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces a structured framework that will:

  • Ensure higher-quality, reliable data to help investors make well-informed decisions.

  • Empower stakeholders, including consumers, by providing accessible tools to evaluate corporate ESG performance.

  • Standardize reporting through the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), making it easier to compare different companies’ activities.

  • Strengthen the Social License to Operate (SLO) by promoting transparency, accountability, and fair competition in the sector.
