Future Directions

Enduring Value will continue to be refined and developed in consultation with stakeholders as issues are identified which have not been addressed in the current guidance. As part of this ongoing process of review, the Minerals Council will regularly update the web-based toolkit to ensure that this reflects the range of leading practices currently available to, and being implemented by, companies operating in the minerals sector.

A formal review of the operation of Enduring Value and its governance structures will be undertaken in 2008, in consultation with stakeholders and the External Sustainable Development Advisory Group. Should this review lead to substantive amendment of the governance structures or the Framework, companies will be invited to recommit.
