CSRM logo The Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM) was established by the University of Queensland in 2001 in response to growing interest in and debate about the role of the mining and minerals industry in contemporary society. Since then, CSRM has contributed to industry change processes through leading research, post-graduate teaching, professional education, research-orientated consulting and pro-bono work. CSRM has global reach, with particular experience in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

 

SDIMI 2009

The fourth Sustainable Development Indicators in the Minerals Industry (SDIMI) Conference will be held on the Gold Coast, Australia from the 6-8 July 2009. The conference, which is being jointly organised by the SMI, AusIMM and the CRC for Sustainable Resource Processing, is being held outside of Europe for the first time.

It comes at a critical point in the history of the industry, with the confluence of tighter controls on carbon emissions, increased competition for key resources such as water and land, rising community expectations and a prolonged global economic downturn presenting unprecedented challenges for the sector.

SDIMI will focus on the application and integration of sustainable development principles across all aspects of the minerals industry and will have a strong multi-disciplinary focus. For registration details go tohttp://www.ausimm.com.au/sdimi2009/
