In the last session of the SUMEX workshop at #RawMaterialsWeek, panelists were invited to comment on the feedback provided by the audience on the #SUMEXFramework and to reflect on what is needed to make sustainability happen.
Project coordinator Michael Tost then introduced the key outputs developed by SUMEX to foster the transition towards a more sustainable extractives sector: #SUMEXframework and a Toolkit consisting of a MOOC and a Knowledge Repository. #RawMaterialsWeek
Most of the tensions & trade-offs in the European extractive sector are linked to social & societal responsibilities. These thematic areas can also be mapped to 2 #sustainability aspects of the #SUMEXFramework. Find out more in the #SUMEXpolicybrief: bit.ly/3owaF7r
The #SUMEXFramework was developed to target #sustainability in the European extractive sector. It has three main topics: transforming the economy - social & societal responsibility - and environmental sustainability. What about tensions & trade-offs? bit.ly/3owaF7r

In addition to #sustainability aspects, our Sustainability Framework covers evaluation or decision-making criteria. We assessed 3 very different schemes: Leverage Points; Seven Questions to Sustainability; Institutional Resource Regime. ➡️bit.ly/3s6B3aV#SUMEXframework
SUMEX supports the set-up of a European #sustainability framework for the #ExtractiveIndustries. In our “SD Criteria” report we analysed the current debate around this topic to develop a framework suitable for European industry. Learn more: bit.ly/3s6B3aV#SUMEXframework
