FAQs

Mining’s extensive upstream and downstream footprint exposes it to environmental degradation, human rights risks, and carbon intensity. The global nature of procurement spanning heavy machinery to chemicals creates hidden ESG exposures deep within the supply chain.

Mining operates in a highly regulated and socially exposed environment. ESG software provides a structured, defensible way to assess modern slavery, biodiversity, emissions and broader ESG exposure. Fair Supply’s independently assured risk modelling gives mining companies a consistent, comprehensive view of their supply chain risks, supporting compliance with ISSB, CSRD, TCFD and modern slavery legislation while strengthening disclosure credibility for investors and boards.

‍

The most material ESG impacts in mining often occur far upstream across heavy manufacturing, chemicals, logistics, and equipment supply chains. Tier 10 visibility allows mining companies to identify risks that sit well beyond direct suppliers, supporting more targeted engagement and reducing the likelihood of hidden issues emerging during audits, permitting processes, or community consultations.

‍

Scope 3 emissions usually make up the majority of mining’s carbon footprint, yet supplier data is often incomplete or inconsistent. Fair Supply uses defensible, EEIO-based modelling to generate supplier-level emissions estimates, identify hotspots and support reporting aligned with IFRS S2, TCFD and ESRS. This enables mining companies to plan decarbonisation activities based on consistent, auditable data rather than scattered self-reported figures.

Mining supply chains span high-risk geographies and industries. Fair Supply surfaces modern slavery exposure across all supply chain tiers and enables targeted engagement with high-risk suppliers. Binary, automatically scored SAQs remove subjectivity and ensure assessments are consistent, comparable and defensible. This helps mining companies meet the requirements of the Australian Modern Slavery Act, CSDDD and global due diligence standards.

‍

Mining’s footprint intersects directly with biodiversity concerns. Fair Supply’s biodiversity solution uses nSTAR methodology and global datasets (IUCN, IBAT) to quantify species-level impact across your supply chain, including indirect contributors. This supports alignment with TNFD, ISSB and CSRD, and helps organisations identify where upstream biodiversity impacts are concentrated.

‍

The platform translates complex ESG information into intuitive heatmaps, dashboards and supplier-level risk summaries.
