Life Cycle Assessment for Responsible Mining and Materials

This course relates to the Sustainability Symposium. This short course, delivered by Minviro, introduces the fundamentals and practical applications of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the mining and materials sectors. Participants will learn how LCA quantifies environmental impacts across the entire value chain—from resource extraction to end-of-life—and how it supports decision-making for sustainability and decarbonization. The session will cover key methodologies, data requirements, and interpretation of results, with real-world examples from critical minerals and metals. Attendees will gain insights into integrating LCA into project development and corporate strategies to meet evolving ESG and regulatory expectations. Ideal for professionals seeking to enhance sustainability performance and reduce environmental footprints in resource industries.
