Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has become complex and fragmented, with companies in the minerals industry facing multiple frameworks, memberships, regulatory obligations, and site-level certifications. This creates duplication, inefficiency, and risk, particularly for junior and mid-tier companies with limited resources. 

This project aims to develop and deliver the Amira ESG Intelligence and Governance Tool (Amira ESG Tool) — a global-to-local, artificial intelligence (AI) enabled ESG knowledge platform designed to help stakeholders across the entire minerals value chain understand, track and respond to ESG reporting obligations and credentials. 

Rather than leaving companies to “make sense of the mess” individually, this project creates a centralised, practical tool that maps ESG instruments, shows overlaps, and guides companies through a pathway appropriate to their size, maturity, and commodity. 

A key innovation is the planned integration of generative AI large language models (LLM) into the Amira ESG Tool to enhance usability and keep information current. 

By supporting this 2-year project, sponsors demonstrate leadership in ESG, reduce compliance risks, and ensure they are prepared for emerging regulatory requirements such as ISSB/IFRS adoption. Importantly, the ESG Tool will be designed with sponsor input, ensuring that it is tailored to real industry needs and practical to use in daily reporting and strategy. 

Amira is uniquely placed as a neutral industry leader to convene producers, suppliers, governments, and investors in this innovative and collaborative initiative. For more information contact Dr Silvia Black silvia.black@amira.global.
