Why this matters

Scrutiny is rising. Readiness is not keeping pace.

Where the pressure comes from

01

Communities and the public

02

Regulators & governments

03

Employees & investors

04

Digital audiences, activitists and misinformation

Mining organisations face growing attention from the people closest to operations and the audiences furthest from them. When something goes wrong, the response is judged in minutes, not days.

Yet readiness across the sector is uneven. Many organisations carry fragmented processes and structures that react to events rather than anticipate them.

What the assessment examines

Five areas that decide how an organisation holds up.

Crisis Communication Preparedness

Plans, decision rights and the speed of response when pressure arrives.

Internal Alignment

Do teams move from the same understanding when it matters most?

Leadership Communication


How clearly and credibly leaders speak to internal and external audiences.


Transparency and Response Capability

The capacity to be open, accurate and timely while under scrutiny.

Stakeholder and Community Engagement

Relationships with the communities and groups closest to operations.

Each area is scored as a sector benchmark.

Responses are confidential and contribute to sector-wide benchmarking.
