MINERALS 2003 focused on Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility (CSR). It aimed to improve knowledge about CSR and facilitate the exchange of experience and good practice in minerals companies. It also provided practical experience of codes of conduct, management standards, reporting and socially responsible investment. In particular it looked at ways in which CSR could be integrated into employment and health & safety policy, as well as environmental practices.
