Environment Review Comittee
An Environment Review Committee (ERC) is a group of stakeholders who review the environmental performance of a mine or quarry.
The purpose of FGM’s ERC is to facilitate effective two-way communication and build knowledge to promote better understanding of the mining operation between key stakeholders, including the community, FGM and regulators. Although the ERC does not have a legislative basis, it provides an opportunity for stakeholders and the community to state concerns and seek clarification from FGM on its operations. FGM’s ERC provides opportunities to explore alternative strategies, establish relationships, and build on industry and community commonalities.
The scope of FGM’s ERC includes, but is not limited to, the following aspects:
- Operational updates on aspects including, health and safety, mining and production, projects and approvals, and exploration.
- Review of environmental performance against regulatory requirements and licence conditions, and due consideration of community expectations, where appropriate.
