Managing Mining Legacies & Reclamation — 5-Day Intensive Training & UK Benchmark Study Tour
🎯Who Should Attend
- Senior managers, environment & sustainability officers, mine-closure planners from mining companies.
- Government regulators, environmental agencies, public-sector mining oversight bodies.
- ESG / sustainability practitioners, consultants, auditors and compliance officers working on mining legacies, reclamation, environmental remediation and social-impact management.
- Financial institutions or investors funding mining projects requiring legacy-risk management and ESG compliance.
- NGOs, community liaison officers, and stakeholders involved in mine closure, remediation, and post-mining land-use planning.
📘Why ISO 24419 + UK Tour is Valuable
- The standard ISO 24419-1 lays out internationally recognised requirements & recommendations for managing mining legacies — covering planning, implementation, stakeholder engagement, environmental and social stewardship, reclamation, monitoring and reporting.
- Many mines worldwide — large or small — face legacy issues (abandoned sites, environmental degradation, community impact, safety hazards, reclamation liability). ISO 24419 is designed precisely for such contexts.
- A UK-based training + study tour gives delegates exposure to UK/EU-level best practices in mine-legacy management, environmental regulation, stakeholder engagement, and reclamation — a strong benchmark for organisations from Africa, Asia, Middle East or other mining regions.
- On completing the course, participants will have the knowledge and certification to plan, audit or implement legacy-management systems, enabling their organisation to meet global ESG, compliance and sustainability expectations.
