Abstract

Through a data-driven approach, this research aims to uncover perceptions related to the industry's role in sustainable development. Correspondingly, this study explores socio-economic and environmental solutions within the mining industry and compares them to other industries. The analysis relies on archived data from the Thomson Reuters Asset4 (Asset4) database to examine and compare these perceptions across various industries. Utilizing a multiple criteria comparison, with the mean of analytical geometry concept, the collected database information offers insights into stakeholder perspectives. By contrasting the mining industry with nine other sectors including Banking, Automotive, and Construction, common patterns and discrepancies in perceptions are compared. From the analysis, the mining industry ranks lowest in socio-environmental performance compared to other sectors. The research findings enhanced our understanding of the mining industry's socio-environmental impacts and its potential for sustainable solutions. By addressing perceptions surrounding the mining industry, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable practices and responsible resource extraction. Bridging the gap between industry practices and societal expectations, it facilitates evidence-based policies for sustainable development.

与其他行业相比，采矿业社会环境解决方案的探索：数据驱动的揭示观念

通过数据驱动的方法，本研究旨在揭示与该行业在可持续发展中的作用相关的认知。相应地，本研究探讨了采矿业内部的社会经济和环境解决方案，并将其与其他行业进行了比较。该分析依赖于汤森路透资产数据库（Asset4）的存档数据，以检查和比较不同行业的这些看法。利用多标准比较，与分析几何概念的平均值，收集的数据库信息提供了洞察利益相关者的观点。通过将采矿业与包括银行、汽车和建筑在内的其他9个行业进行对比，比较了常见的模式和观念上的差异。从分析来看，与其他部门相比，采矿业在社会环境绩效方面排名最低。研究结果增强了我们对采矿业的社会环境影响及其可持续解决方案潜力的理解。通过解决围绕采矿业的看法，本研究有助于正在进行的可持续实践和负责任的资源开采的论述。它弥合了行业实践与社会期望之间的差距，促进了以证据为基础的可持续发展政策。

期刊介绍： Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
