The Many Facets of Sustainability in Mining

Mining is not an industry that in the past was synonymous with conservation and protection of the environment. Yet, that is changing.

Globally demand for natural resources is growing, our global economy is fuelled on natural resources, but this demand does not have to be at the expense of the planet that sustains us. One Namibian company is going above and beyond what is required of them to ensure sustainability.

How this is being done and what protections are in place that safeguard our earth while still ensuring positive growth for our economy, is what Namdeb Diamond Corporation’s Brand Manager, Pauline Thomas, has come to share with us.

In this episode of 99FM’s MYD Earth Pauline shares with us what mining looks like in Namibia and how Namdeb Diamond Corporation is exceeding expectations through their focus on sustainability.
