Sustainability Framework

Amira Global’s Sustainability Framework brings together a globally connected portfolio of projects designed to embed sustainability into every facet of the mining value chain. The framework drives forward environmental, social, and governance (ESG) excellence, aligning innovation with improved economics, reduced waste, responsible water use, community impact, safety, clean energy and reporting requirements.

Externally, the framework promotes collaborative R&D to address global sustainability challenges in mining. It strengthens connections across the globe between industry, researchers, government, and funding bodies, helping to coordinate and amplify sustainability-focused innovation. Through initiatives like the Pan-African Decarbonisation Institute (P-ADI), the Circular Mine Program, and the Amira Lithium Program, it supports transition pathways for low-emission mining, energy transformation, and circular economy practices.

Internally, the framework provides strategic structure to develop and scale new programs aligned with member priorities. It enhances the management of Amira’s sustainability portfolio, creates synergies with allied frameworks (such as Mining and Mineral Processing), and directs focus toward near- and mid-term ESG outcomes. The framework also supports capability building and knowledge transfer across communities and industry.
