This seminar will explore the phenomenon of ESG with respect to Australian mining companies operating abroad. It will focus on requirements under Australian law to both report on, and make reasonable efforts to, avoid certain illegal and immoral behaviours. In so doing, it highlights areas of potential law and policy reform and further research. The talk by Dr Evan Hamman will be followed by a discussion chaired by Dr Clement Sefa-Nyarko, Lecturer in Security, Development and Leadership in Africa.
