  • Tools for enhancing the corporate social responsibility, community engagement and management of the stakeholder relations
  • Case studies in Finnish, Swedish, Portuguese and Romanian mine

Benefits

  • Supports environmentally, socially and economically sustainable gold production in EU
  • Technologies and solutions to manage economical and environmental risks related to gold mining

Users and competition

  • Global mining industry, technology companies, equipment suppliers, consults and authorities in EU
  • Direct and significant economic benefits
