Sustainability
The origins of the concept of sustainability are found
in the enactment of January 1, 1970 in the National
Environmental Policy Act -NEPA for its acronym in
English. Here 3 independently conceived parts were distin-
guished. First, the establishment of Environmental Quality
second, declaration of environmental policy and third, the
construction of federal agencies that served various func-
tions (Dreyfus, 1976). Obviously this is due to public
appreciation and awareness of caring for the Environment.
This percentage was influenced by the book Silent Spring
written by (Carson, 1962) where since 1950 he has been
doing environmental research and denouncing the bad
practices of the chemical industry that generated environ-
mental damage with the misuse of pesticides. This is how
the interest in the care and protection of the Environment
is seen in various social groups and at different times. Thus,
five decades later, the United Nations Organization (UN)
in 1987, through the Bruntland Commission, defined the
concept of sustainability as acts that allow current needs
to be met without compromising the resources of future
generations where they can satisfy their needs. Then, from
this is written the commitment to be careful with our pres-
ent actions, thinking about a future with a better structure.
Following this and subsequent years, in 2015, the UN
proposed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an
agenda with a vision for 2030, which are contained in 17
SDGs. Therefore, companies seek to be aligned with these
agreements in their view of sustainability, as explained (Gil,
2018). The theory of sustainability has another complexity
that is not necessary for this writing, as in addition to the
UN’s own linear definition, it must be limited to ethics and
consider that we live in an ecosystem (Javier, 2019).
ESG
ESG is an integrated criterion of performance on the
Environmental, Social and Governance scale. Currently,
financial sectors align efforts in business conduct that align
with ESG criteria (SEC). The prominence of responsible
investments is evident (Dmuchowski, 2023). This scenario
generates greater sensitivity in investments due to their
ecological footprints, especially related to the environ-
ment, society and governance (UN). Responsible invest-
ments highlight their ethical nature (Rau, 2023). Likewise,
the observation of this criterion considers the ecosys-
tem and the action we have on it to be relevant (Javier,
2019). The metrics of this criterion are developed through
a baseline that can be measured and that is aligned with
general social objectives (Zu, 2022). The ESG criterion
metric encompasses a result of the indicators represented in
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). This ESG
criterion continues to evolve with its implementation in the
mining industry. Likewise, it supports being a principle of
action in the ecosystem where mining occurs. In this sce-
nario, the mining engineer becomes a manager of natural
resources.
PROPOSAL OF MODEL
A model is proposed where the ESG concept appears as a
mediating variable in the understanding of the transition of
knowledge from one generation to another. The previous
generation, without the technological benefits, advances
in sustainability constructs or ESG, while the new genera-
tions with information at their fingertips with constructs
of greater structure where ESG has a better understanding
to configure the SDGs and care for the ecosystem. They
are applied with ethics and solidarity responsible to future
generations.
Figure 1 describes the proposed model where the ESG
variable is a mediator between the University and the min-
ing industry.
