is being conducted and straying from traditional harmful
practices. ESG allows companies to understand regula-
tions that are being created based on public perspectives
and testimonies on challenges that mining projects pose
to their well-being and the fulfillment of their universal
rights. For example: since Arizona is the home to multiple
Native tribes, it is vital for Arizonian mining companies to
communicate and engage with these tribes before starting
any invasive work to respect their cultural rights, establish
resources that could benefit the tribes, and prevent ten-
sion. Overall, ESG will help guide the mining industry in
its journey toward creating feasible and responsible copper
projects to meet future copper demands.
