ABSTRACT:
Fifteen years ago, few in the mining industry had heard the words sustainable development, let alone knew what it meant. Today, it is a different story.

Sustainable development had its origins in the ground-breaking report entitled Our Common Future by the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 (commonly referred to as the Brundtland Report).
