Just 10 years are left to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals – and as one of the few sectors with links to all 17, the mining industry has a significant role to play in contributing to their achievement. But as the new report "Mining and the SDGs – a 2020 status update" reveals, the sector as a whole is falling short.

While most of the world's largest mining companies now mention the SDGs in their sustainability reporting, and while a few frontrunners have integrated the SDGs into their business strategies, most SDG-related reporting by mining companies is, the report finds, purely cosmetic – and there is little public reporting of firms' negative impacts on progress towards meeting the goals. There is a real risk of companies being accused of "SDG-washing" while reporting remains unbalanced.

And when looking for evidence that companies are taking practical actions to help deliver the goals, the results are very mixed.

Published by the Responsible Mining Foundation (RMF) and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, the study bases its findings on the Responsible Mining Foundation's RMI Report 2020, which assesses the policies and practices of 38 large-scale mining companies around the world. It found that there are some examples of good practice within the sector, with relatively widespread action on SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). However, the report also found that no one company is taking strong action to address all 17 goals, and the sector's action on four goals in particular – SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water) – is especially weak.

There are multiple and striking mismatches between companies' rhetoric and action. The report found, for example, that SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) and SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) are two of the goals that many firms claim to be prioritising, yet they also account for some of the weakest levels of action. In a recent research article RMF highlighted the striking contrast between companies' materiality analyses and their actions on these SDGs.

Working towards the SDGs is about more than doing the right thing: there is a strong and well-established business case for companies to integrate the goals into their business strategies. As the report states, mining companies that embed the SDGs into their core operations will strengthen their ability to meet future challenges – and will build trust among all stakeholders, including an investment community increasingly concerned about sustainability matters. To that end, the report details nine practical steps companies can take to demonstrate their commitment to meeting the SDGs, and to responsible mining in general.

About the Responsible Mining Foundation

The Responsible Mining Foundation (RMF) is an independent research organisation that encourages continuous improvement in responsible extractives across the value chain by developing tools and frameworks, sharing public-interest data and enabling informed and constructive engagement between extractive companies and other stakeholders. The Foundation does not accept funding or other contributions from the extractive industry.

South Korea, one of the top CO2 emitting countries in the world, proposed a ‘Green New Deal’ to help accelerate the country’s transition towards the creation of a sustainable ecosystem by attaining net-zero emissions by 2050 and mitigate the risk of climate crisis. The deal affirms South Korea’s desire to make big advancements in the renewable energy (RE) sphere, attaining at least 20% of green power generation in the mix, with solar PV power reaching more than 36GW  and wind offshore capacity reaching 12GW by 2030, says GlobalData, a leading research and analytics company.  

South Korea targeted the power generation sector first for transformation to tackle the growing emissions. The power generation sector, which has over 50% share in the country’s total carbon emissions, is set for a sustainable transformation with the share of coal in the generation mix diminishing from the current 45% to around 30% by 2030 and 10% by 2050.  

Ankit Mathur, Practice Head of Power at GlobalData, comments: “In the third energy master plan, by 2040, South Korea desires to have renewables shape 30-35% of the generation blend. As per GlobalData estimates, the current transition will see the country’s generation mix having 19% of the generation from renewable sources (including hydropower) by 2030, very close to the 20% target by 2030. The country would need to create a plan of retiring the coal projects and installation of renewable projects to ensure the power demand is met without any major hiccups.”  

South Korea is under increased scrutiny to reduce carbon emissions and the climate advocates are proposing a complete coal phase out by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement. According to GlobalData, the current renewable (including hydropower) share in the capacity mix stands at 20%, and is likely to almost double by 2030. However, in order to faciliatate the sustainable transition, the government needs to implement an array of measures such as carbon tax, end to coal financing and focus on renewables to discourage coal usage.  

Mathur concludes: “Due to the the country’s world-class marine plants and shipping construction infrastructure, there are significant opportunities in the floating offshore wind segment. International companies, in partnership with the local Korean companies and workforce, can support the government's Green New Deal strategy by stimulating the economic growth and create employment opportunities. 

“GlobalData estimates the new capacity build of 48.5GW between 2020 and 2030 will be dominated by non-carbon emitting sources with 73% share, driven majorly by solar PV and wind installations. By 2030, the expansion of the offshore wind segment is anticipated to make it the larger performer in the overall wind segment, which would complement the massively strong solar PV segment to help the nation witness the green transition.”

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity across the oil and gas sector reached US$224.4bn in deal value in 2019, reflecting growths of 29% and 159% compared to 2018 and 2017, respectively. The main themes that drove this activity were shale, emerging economies, China impact and subsea, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’s theme report: ‘M&A in Oil & Gas (2017–Q1 2020)’ analyses the key themes that were influential in enabling M&A and asset transactions within the oil and gas sector from 2017 to Q1 2020.

Snigdha Parida, M&A Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Deal activity was also influenced by the need to make strategic partnerships to overcome the regulatory challenges, gain access to IoT, cloud or other emerging technologies and diversify into renewable energy. The growing importance of sustainability, combined with volatile oil prices and diminishing resources resulted in M&A for diversification.

“The equipment and services industry witnessed most of the technology-driven deals in the sector. Tightening profit margins and resources that are increasingly difficult to reach have, in part, made investments into technologies a necessity.”

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a new theme that has adversely impacted the oil and gas sector. The pandemic is likely to impact deals’ activities in the short-term.

Parida adds: “Low prices coupled with a prospect of low demand will not augur well for the sector and force to rethink on project timelines and cost-cutting across value chain. Buyers are wary of M&A deals while conserving cash for the future and possible target companies may also be reluctant to sell off at depressed prices.”

In Q1 2020, a total of 14 M&A deals with a transaction value of US$50m or more were announced in the global oil and gas space. These deals had a combined transaction value of US$4.2bn, which was down by 80% when compared to Q4 2019 and 95% down when compared to Q1 2019. 

In Q1 2020, GlobalData’s oil and gas index fell by 43%. The index remains 28% below January 2020 levels, turning many oil and gas companies into attractive bid targets.

Parida concludes: “Presently, the COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainties in global energy demand that has compelled the oil and gas companies to evaluate their capital discipline and refrain from M&As. However, in the medium-term, the market correction could create attractive M&A opportunities in the sector.”

Outokumpu is celebrating 90 years since duplex stainless steel made its debut on the world market. The global leader in stainless steel is using the opportunity to highlight the growing role of duplex grades in supporting sustainability. This is made possible by their superior corrosion resistance and high strength. Thanks to this combination of properties, engineers can create lightweight components and structures that provide a long life and require minimum maintenance – delivering excellent value for money and minimizing use of raw materials. As the inventor of duplex stainless steel, Outokumpu is committed to carry this legacy forward.

Duplex grades have been used widely over the last nine decades in chemical processing, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and food and beverage industries. Additionally, today’s requirements for sustainable solutions make duplex stainless steel a long-lasting alternative to traditional painted or coated carbon steel for bridges and infrastructure.

Peder Claesson, Head of Project Sales at Outokumpu, said: “While duplex stainless steel is now 90 years old, it is proving to be an ideal material for the 21st century. It is strong and durable for industrial environments, but it also looks great and has huge potential to save cost and minimize environmental footprint.”

The first duplex grades were introduced by Outokumpu’s Avesta steelworks in September 1930 as a breakthrough that combined the two most common types of stainless steel, austenitic and ferritic. This enabled metallurgists to create a new material that offered the best properties of both.

Since then, a whole family of duplex grades has been developed for specific industrial applications. For example, we have launched a new formable duplex grade to increase strength and efficiency of complex mechanical components such as heat exchanger plates.

The Former Soviet Union (FSU) is expected to witness the highest global working gas capacity additions, contributing around 32% of the global gas storage capacity additions by 2024, says GlobalData, a leading data, and analytics company.

The company’s report, ‘Global Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook for Underground Gas Storage, 2020−2024 – Russia Leads Global Working Gas Capacity Additions’, reveals that the FSU is likely to witness a total working gas storage capacity additions of 899 billion cubic feet (bcf) by 2024. Of this, the capacity of planned projects that have received necessary approvals for development accounts for nearly 639 bcf.

Haseeb Ahmed, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “The FSU is expected to witness the start of operations of 11 new-build gas storage sites by 2024. Of these, nine are planned and the remaining two are announced sites. Uzbekistan’s Gazli II and Russia’s Stepnovskoe II are the largest upcoming gas storage sites in the region, with respective capacities of 247 bcf and 199 bcf by 2024.”

GlobalData identifies Europe as the second-highest contributor to the global working gas storage capacity additions contributing around 28% or 792 bcf by 2024. The region is expected to witness the start of operations of 27 planned projects and 21 announced projects. Deborah in the UK is the largest upcoming gas storage site in the region with a capacity of 174 bcf by 2024. Golianovo in Slovakia and Galata in Bulgaria are joint second-largest upcoming gas storage sites, each with a capacity of 53 bcf.

Ahmed continues: “The Middle East ranks third across the globe contributing roughly 17.5% of the world’s working gas storage capacity additions between 2020 and 2024. The region has nine upcoming projects, of which six are planned projects and the remaining three are announced projects. Turkey’s Tuz Golu II is the largest upcoming gas storage site in the region, with a capacity of 148 bcf by 2024.”

Norway has majorly been a net electricity exporter and is amongst the top 10 electricity exporting nations in Europe. Primarily reliant on hydropower, the country is an open electric market and its grid is well integrated with the other Nordic countries namely Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. To further support its electricity export, Norway looks to diversify into offshore wind. Building on the experience and strengths of the offshore oil and gas industry, the offshore wind segment stands as a perfect synergy to be developed and the power generated can enhance the country’s electricity export capacity, says Globaldata, a leading data and analytics company. 

Somik Das, Senior Power Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Hydropower fulfills Norway’s own electricity needs and caters to its exports. However, the country found itself as a net importer of the electricity in 2019 as hydro reservoirs remained low during the year. The analysis further suggests that for the past few years, exports have been decreasing, wherein 2019 saw Norway’s electricity exports declining by 33% over 2018. Offshore wind in Norway is in its incipient stage, but has strong potential, and can cater to the export-oriented approach of the nation. Norway has one of the world’s richest offshore wind resources, with wind speeds averaging 10m/s.” 

To encourage expansion, the Norwegian government declared NOK25m (approximately US$2.8m) for an offshore wind venture and the foundation of a research center for renewable energy (RE). The RE research center is anticipated to focus on the challenges to the nation’s offshore wind segment. The team also has the additional support of another NOK10m (US$1.1m) to develop the supply chains and delivery models for offshore wind. 

Das concludes: “Norway has opened two areas for offshore wind power developments in the North Sea, citing the possibility of developing upto 4,500MW of capacity. As the global offshore wind development costs decline over technological advancements, it will complement the country’s export strategy well to feed the neighboring countries at the time of peak demand.  

“Good wind resources, combined with Norway’s strong position in maritime, offshore and land-based industrial sectors, indicate that Norwegian offshore wind power segment has it all to become noteworthy in the Norwegian locale. GlobalData’s forecasts suggest that the country will have about 1.5GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.”
