Important results from the project
The aims were: (i) to develop and populate a database on sustainability aspects of the Swedish mining and minerals’ cluster, using publicly available data; and (ii) to use this database to evaluate whether the goals of SIP STRIM are being reached. Both aims these were reached.
Expected long term effects
The project has established a baseline as well as a time series of sustainability data. The project further found both significant improvements as well as some issues of concern. These findings may be used to guide the future development of the sector, as well as to follow up programmes such as Swedish Mining Innovation in the future.
Approach and implementation
The evaluations were done against Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s), and using existing data that companies and countries are already committed to collecting and disseminating were used. Evaluations were done on three main levels, namely: (i) the national level; (ii) the corporate level; and (iii) the mine site or processing site level. The data were also benchmarked against international data, drawn from selected companies, countries and other relevant organisations.
